What QualGear LLC does

QualGear LLC is a Plano, Texas-based manufacturer and distributor of professional-grade audio/video mounting solutions and connectivity accessories. Founded in 2013 (originally as Star Ergonomics), the company designs and sells a broad product portfolio that includes TV mounts (fixed, tilt, full-motion articulating), projector mounts (flush, telescopic, wall, and Pro-AV commercial variants), monitor desk mounts (single, dual, interactive), projector screens, A/V wall accessories (sound bar, speaker, shelf mounts), and a full cable line spanning HDMI 2.1, standard HDMI, CAT6, CAT7, AUX, and cable management accessories. Products carry UL Listed safety certification and are tested to 4x stated weight capacity, and installation is differentiated through included wall drilling templates, integrated bubble levels, pre-assembled components, and pre-sorted hardware.

The company operates a dual B2B/B2C go-to-market targeting both professional AV installers (commercial ceiling and wall-mounted projector installations) and residential consumers (home theater setups and ergonomic workstations). Revenue is generated entirely through one-time hardware product sales with no subscription or recurring component; pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by channel and product tier from entry-level fixed mounts to premium articulating models.

Distribution is multi-channel and global. QualGear sells through major US retailers including Home Depot, Walmart, Lowe's, Target, Sears, Staples, and Newegg, plus its own Shopify storefront, and reaches nine countries (US, Canada, UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, France, Mexico, Australia) through Amazon's global marketplace with additional presence in India. The company is privately held, bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds, and operates with approximately 6 employees across a Plano headquarters and a sales/support office in Anna, Texas.
