Engross

What Engross does

Engross Inc. is a privately held US manufacturer and importer of metal hardware and die-cast components headquartered in Flushing, New York, with a distribution warehouse in Cleveland, Ohio and manufacturing partner factories in China. The company's core offering is a one-stop metal components supply service spanning multiple casting methods (investment casting, die casting of zinc and aluminum, sand casting of cast iron, steel, brass, bronze, and aluminum alloys, forging, permanent mold casting, squeeze casting), as well as pressworking, surface coating, CNC precision machining, welding, polishing, and final assembly. Underlying technical capability centers on conventional metal casting and fabrication processes rather than any software or automation stack, with CNC machining used for precision finishing of cast components.

The product portfolio is divided between finished hardware lines — heavy truck and trailer hardware (handles, hinges, paddle latches, stanchions, door checks, D-rings, rotary latches, gas spring brackets, tool box latches, tie-down rings), dump body components, and garage door components (rollers, latches, pulley plates, sheave straps, hinges) — and toll/conversion services for customer-supplied designs used in hydraulic cylinders, industrial machine equipment, generators, marine hardware, and gas springs. Sales are conducted on a quote-based, B2B basis via phone and a website contact form, with multi-year contract billing typical and no public price list.

The customer base is segmented across heavy truck and trailer manufacturers, emergency vehicle and fleet operators, industrial equipment manufacturers, and garage door OEMs, with geographic reach spanning North America, East Asia, Australia, Europe, and Central America. The business model is a low-cost overseas sourcing arbitrage combined with domestic warehousing for Just In Time Delivery: parts are produced in Chinese partner factories, stocked in the Cleveland warehouse, and shipped to OEM customers, with assembly and kitting offered as an incremental value-added service. No revenue, headcount, funding, ownership, or executive information is disclosed in the available data.
