Celebrating 80 Years of American Manufacturing Excellence

From a Small Cleveland Shop to a Global Leader in Engineered Shaft Locking Solutions

When Climax Metal Products Company opened its doors in 1946, it wasn’t in a sprawling facility or global headquarters, it was in a modest shop in Cleveland, Ohio. With a few skilled machinists and a vision for the future, Climax laid the foundation for what would become.

Eighty years later, and our commitment to American craftmanship hasn’t changed.

Today, Climax operates in Mentor, Ohio proudly continuing its legacy as a U.S. manufacturer. What started in that small operation in Cleveland has evolved into a respected leader in precision engineered shaft components, trusted by a wide variety of industries. At the heart of our operation are components that are designed, engineered, and manufactured with the attention to detail and quality that American manufacturing is known for.

Being “Made in the USA” is more than a statement, it’s a promise. It reflects our dedication to craftsmanship, local talent, responsive service, and products built to last. Climax looks forward to maintaining our high standards and the reputation we have achieved across the globe.
