About ZERO Manufacturing
Zero Manufacturing is headquartered in North Salt Lake, Utah, and traces its origins to 1931 when German immigrant Herman Zierold established a small sheet-metal shop in Los Angeles after designing a rugged aluminum case to protect his engineering documents in the California oil fields. The business evolved through several ownership changes and was later renamed Zero Manufacturing Co. in 1959. Today the company operates under the leadership of Rockwood Equity Partners and CEO Declan McLaughlin. The company specializes in mission-critical protective cases and enclosures made from high-strength aluminum and advanced polymers. Its 286,000-square-foot Utah facility houses deep-drawn aluminum forming, rotomolding, laser cutting, CNC punching, certified welding, anodizing, powder coating, and assembly operations. With 145 team members, Zero produces more than 270,000 parts annually across 2,600 unique SKUs and has manufactured over 5 million products since inception. Zero serves aerospace and aviation, defense and military, medical, energy/oil & gas, industrial, electronics & infrastructure, and logistics sectors. Its cases have protected equipment ranging from Apollo 11 moon-rock containers to avionics, field-deployed medical diagnostics, and downhole sensors in harsh oilfield environments. Customers include NASA, major defense contractors, medical device OEMs, and industrial equipment manufacturers. Zero positions itself as an engineering-led manufacturing partner that combines disciplined engineering, vertically controlled domestic production, and long-term partnership. The company emphasizes predictable lead times, consistent quality through ISO 9001-certified processes, and expert guidance from concept through testing — often at no cost — to deliver protection where failure is not an option.
