Triangle Manufacturing

An Industrial Bearings & Metal Components Manufacturer

Engineering Is in Our DNA

Over 100 years ago, Frank Sullivan took a giant leap –the kind that only the entrepreneurial engineer will make.

From the shop room floor at what was then Oshkosh Truck Corp. (and is today known as Oshkosh Corporation®), he ventured out on his own to establish Triangle Manufacturing Company in 1922.

Originally conceived as a tool and die shop, Sullivan followed his instincts and customer base, building the company from its humble roots into what has become one of the largest U.S. metal components and bearing manufacturing companies. Triangle Manufacturing’s product offering is diverse—from spherical plain bearings and rod end bearings to linkage assemblies and blower motor belly band brackets. Today, our customers—from small-and mid-sized manufacturers to Fortune 500 companies—span the globe.

And, Sullivan’s legacy of thinking entrepreneurially, engineering creatively and delivering reliably, lives on. It's on our DNA.

How Bearing Engineering


helps our customers

The advantage of having over 100 years of manufacturing experience: We can draw on our past successes to bring you better solutions, faster. Consider this customer’s challenge:


In the midst of developing a solar application, our customer encountered a puzzling challenge. With fierce weather conditions battering the installation site, a brass  assembly was required. Because steel is not natively pliable, the customer had struggled to find a manufacturing partner who could deliver. When they brought the challenge to Triangle Manufacturing Company, we tapped into our bearing engineering DNA. Drawing from our vast archive, we found product research for a similar problem, solved decades earlier. We called up the design, developed the prototype and showed the customer a solution that works.
