What Quality Industries does

Quality Industries, Inc. (dba QI Products) is a U.S. precision metal fabricator specializing in OEM aluminum truck parts and accessories for the commercial trucking industry. Founded around 1978 and operating for 46 years, the company manufactures a six-category product line from cab racks, step boxes, cab entry boxes, and barn door boxes to drop door boxes and in-frame boxes. Production runs across two main facilities totaling more than 300,000 square feet in the Nashville area (La Vergne, TN) and the Dallas area (Denton, TX), and is supported by an in-house engineering team, full finishing and powder-coating capabilities, and proprietary features such as zero-clearance hinges, gas-spring door systems, automotive bulb sealing, and internal mounting reinforcement.

The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Anchor Fabrication, one of the largest metal fabricators in the United States, with additional plants in Texas, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Quality Industries distributes its products primarily through an authorized dealer network, with dealer locators on every product page, and supplements this channel through Anchor Fabrication's enterprise sales motion. End customers are commercial trucking fleets and individual truck owners/operators, with quote-request functionality and a 1-800 sales line capturing inbound demand.

In 2024, Quality Industries consolidated its marketing presence under the QI Products brand and formally positioned itself as part of the Anchor Fabrication platform, emphasizing 100% U.S.-based production, custom engineering, and a one-roof supply chain for engineering, fabrication, coating, assembly, and service. The company maintains an active careers page across both production sites and is present in industry channels such as the Mid-America Trucking Show, Facebook, and LinkedIn, with no disclosed funding, M&A, or public-offering activity.

Emerging players

• DECKED: DECKED is an emerging player in truck storage solutions, offering in-bed drawer systems and modular storage for pickup trucks and work trucks. While more consumer/SMB-focused and using different materials, it competes in the same 'organized truck storage' use case as QI's storage boxes, especially for individual owner-operators.

Direct peers

• Masterack (Leggett & Platt): Masterack, a Leggett & Platt commercial vehicle products business, designs and manufactures interior van shelving, racks, and storage systems for commercial fleets. It is comparable as a custom-engineered metal storage/upfit supplier serving commercial fleet customers, though more focused on van interiors.
• Dejana Truck & Utility Equipment: Dejana is a major commercial truck upfitter producing truck bodies, storage systems, and fleet accessories through in-house metal fabrication. It competes with QI in the commercial upfit market and serves overlapping fleet customers with similar custom-engineered storage and access products.

• Reading Truck: Reading Truck (a J.B. Poindexter company) is a direct competitor to Quality Industries, manufacturing truck bodies, storage solutions, and service truck upfits for commercial fleets using metal fabrication. Its product portfolio significantly overlaps with QI's cab racks, storage boxes, and truck accessory lines, serving the same fleet and dealer channels.
• Weather Guard (Knaack): Weather Guard, a brand under WernerCo (Knaack), is a leading U.S. manufacturer of truck tool boxes, storage solutions, and truck bed accessories. Its aluminum and steel truck boxes directly compete with QI's step boxes, in-frame boxes, and barn door boxes in the fleet and individual owner channels.
• UWS (Truck Accessories Group): UWS manufactures aluminum and steel truck tool boxes, crossover boxes, and storage accessories for pickup trucks and commercial fleets. Its product line closely mirrors QI's barn door boxes, step boxes, and in-frame storage solutions for similar commercial and individual buyer segments.
• Highway Products: Highway Products manufactures aluminum tool boxes, headache racks, and truck accessories using precision metal fabrication, marketed to truck owners and fleets. Its product categories (aluminum cab racks, tool boxes) directly overlap with QI's core lineup and customer base.
• Better Built (Truck Accessories Group): Better Built produces aluminum and steel truck tool boxes, transfer tanks, and storage accessories for commercial trucks. It competes head-to-head with QI in step boxes, underbody boxes, and trailer storage solutions through overlapping dealer networks.

Regional players

• Auto Truck Group: Auto Truck Group is a commercial upfitter specializing in truck equipment, van interiors, and fleet upfit solutions, with a multi-state U.S. service footprint.
