History

Since 1922

In 1922 Elco Tool and Screw was founded in Rockford primarily to supply wood screws to the then booming local furniture manufacturing business. Over the next several decades the company continued to grow, constantly finding new markets and developing its fastener manufacturing capabilities. In the mid 1960’s a new facility was built and the name was changed to Elco Industries Inc.

As the business continued to grow through the 70’s and 80’s, so did the plant. This growth, supplying product to several distinct markets, prompted management to accommodate additional growth by physically splitting the different market segments into stand alone facilities. That led to the creation, in 1984, of Elco Construction Products (ECP) at its still current Falcon Road address. The original products were self-drilling screws and masonry screw anchors.

Today’s product offering is much expanded from that as you will see when you view our website. The company today is now part of Acument Global Technologies and operates as a stand alone business unit. Acument is owned by Platinum Equities of Beverly Hills, California.
