Accuride International, Inc. was founded in 1962 by Fred Jordan and is a privately held company headquartered in Santa Fe Springs, California. It began as a small tool and die shop producing high-precision slides for tape drives and copiers. In the late 1960s, the company developed ball bearing slides for steel office furniture and later adapted them for wood furniture, introducing innovations like the Breathing Tab to absorb material tolerances. Today, Accuride is the world's largest manufacturer dedicated exclusively to ball bearing slide technology. Its products serve a wide range of applications, from kitchen cabinets and office furniture to high-end appliances, electronic enclosures, medical carts, automotive, and industrial equipment. Key product lines include heavy-duty series such as the 3832 and 3834, light-duty series like the 1029 and 1032, and the 9400 series undermount slides. The company maintains rigorous in-house manufacturing capabilities including progressive die stamping, roll forming, and plating, ensuring strict quality control. With over one million square feet of global manufacturing space, Accuride holds a dominant market share in precision slides through its focus on smooth motion, high load capacity, and long-term durability.
