120 Years of Excellence: The Evolution of Industrial Brands

The roots of Industrial Brands trace back to the dawn of the 20th century — a time of sweeping industrial progress, precision engineering, and enduring craftsmanship. Our legacy was forged by Henry Smith and Andrew Allen, who founded Allith Manufacturing Company in 1902, and the Durand brothers, who established American Sheet Metal Works in 1905. Both companies emerged as pioneers during an era when products were built to endure generations, not just decades. From the very beginning, their focus was on quality, durability, and performance — values that continue to define Industrial Brands today. Our global team of artisans, engineers, and strategic partners remains dedicated to honoring this legacy through exquisitely handcrafted hardware designed for discerning architects, designers, and luxury homeowners.
