Accuride International Inc. began as a small tool and die shop in 1962 in South Gate, California, producing top-quality slides for tape drives and copy machines.
In the late 1960s, Accuride developed ball bearing slides for metal office furniture. The company’s design engineers then took on the wood furniture market, developing features such as breathing tabs to absorb tolerances in wood products.
Today, still privately held, Accuride has nearly one million square feet of manufacturing space around the world and is the largest company in the world dedicated to the innovative design and manufacturing of ball bearing slides. Accuride slides are designed into a wide range of applications from fine furniture and appliances, to electronic enclosures, and automotive
and industrial equipment.
Accuride built its reputation on quality and ensures strict standards are met by maintaining control over many manufacturing processes others routinely job-out. Progressive
dies, roll forms, and plating lines are designed, built, and maintained in house, as are other key tools and machinery.
The North American facilities feature the largest tooling operation in the industry. Globally, Accuride employs more than 100 tool and die makers, has 77 roll form machines and two in-house steel mills.
Accuride plates over 75,000,000 square feet of material per year and is the largest zinc plater in the world. Accuride was the first slide manufacturer to use the electrocoating process on ball bearing slides and has developed finishes that vigorously resist corrosion.
Accuride’s test laboratory is among the largest in the industry. Products are tested to meet or exceed standards established by ANSI and other testing agencies.
Accuride was the first U.S. based slide manufacturer awarded ISO 9001 certification. Today, all our production facilities have quality management systems registered to ISO 9001:2008.
As a part of Accuride's global commitment to adhering to local environmental laws (even exceeding the standards, whenever practical), using raw materials efficiently, and reducing waste, all slide finishes and components comply with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive.
