About Consolidated Metco Inc

Consolidated Metco Inc., operating as ConMet, was founded in 1964 as part of Portland Freightliner, a subsidiary of Consolidated Freightways. The company began in Clackamas, Oregon, and now bases its corporate headquarters in Vancouver, Washington. In 1999, Amsted Industries acquired ConMet through its purchase of Varlen Corp., and the business remains a division of that diversified global manufacturer. From its start, ConMet focused on wheel-end components, aiming to make critical truck and trailer parts lighter, higher quality, and more efficient. Today ConMet designs and manufactures wheel-end assemblies (including its flagship PreSet® and PreSet Plus® hubs), brake drums, structural plastic components, permanent-mold aluminum castings, and aerodynamic devices such as TruckWings. Its processes span CNC machining, plastic assembly, foundry and machining operations, aluminum die casting, heat treating, and advanced molding. The company runs 13 global manufacturing locations across North America, Mexico, China, and Europe, and reports more than 60 million hubs produced and over 3 billion products shipped annually, with 18 million-plus vehicles on the road using ConMet parts. ConMet serves the commercial vehicle industry, supplying original equipment manufacturers, commercial fleets, and the heavy-duty aftermarket. Its customer base includes European OEMs, North American truck and trailer builders, and fleet maintenance operations. Through Amsted Industries, the company also touches the railroad, automotive, construction, and building markets. ConMet emphasizes collaboration through a full design–development–testing–validation cycle, advanced automation, rigorous quality assurance, and sustainable manufacturing practices such as high-efficiency furnaces, heat-treat optimization, extensive recycling, and reduced energy consumption. The company traces its purpose to solving the industry’s most pressing problems with smarter, safer, and more sustainable solutions.
