Elite Aluminum

What Elite Aluminum does

Elite Fence Products, Inc. is a privately held American manufacturer of ornamental aluminum fences, gates, and railing systems, founded in 1986 and headquartered in Chesterfield Township, Michigan. The company operates a multi-tier product architecture spanning four fence grades (residential, commercial, industrial, heavy industrial) plus proprietary product lines including ZipTrack cantilever gate systems, COREGard architectural products (BRIDGEGard pedestrian railings, ENTRYGard gate/door systems, FALLGard fall protection, LIFEGard perimeter systems, PRIVACYGard privacy solutions, RAILGard/CORErailing/LEGACY railings, and SAFETYGard railings), and AXIS gate hinges engineered and fabricated in-house. All products carry a limited lifetime warranty and feature powder-coated finishes applied at the company's Michigan facility, certified to meet or exceed AAMA 2604 specifications, with 9 standard colors plus custom color capability.

The business operates a manufacturer-direct sales model through three divisional offices: the Michigan corporate headquarters and main manufacturing plant, a Florida division in Hudson, and a Tennessee division in Murfreesboro, each with dedicated toll-free phone lines and direct sales staff. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on phone-based quote requests, a website 'Request a Quote' form, and direct relationships with contractors, builders, and end customers. Pricing is quote-based per project with no public price list. Customer segments span residential properties (security, pool enclosures, aesthetics), commercial properties (apartments, condominiums), industrial properties (perimeter and high-security applications), and architectural/infrastructure projects (bridges, overpasses, fall protection).

Revenue mechanics are one-time project sales of manufactured aluminum fence, gate, railing, and accessory products. The company completed a Michigan headquarters facility expansion in 2024, launched a new corporate website in January 2026, and was featured in FenceNews USA's June 2024 'Top of the Industry' coverage. No institutional funding, acquisitions, or parent-company relationships are disclosed; ownership commentary indicates a likely founder- or family-owned private corporation.
