Company History
In 1859 The Eastern Company, our parent company, is established in Naugatuck, CT. The Eberhard Manufacturing Company is established in 1877 by George W. Eberhard and two other partners. The focus is on malleable iron & brass hardware for saddlery & carriages. 8 patents are issued, and our deep-rooted innovation begins.
Eberhard Manufacturing converts operations in 1942 to manufacture components for amphibious vehicles and landing crafts to support the USA efforts during World War II.
In 2020, the Eberhard Manufacturing Company & Illinois Lock Company combine amidst a global pandemic caused by the Covid-19 virus. The two companies form a single, stronger entity under the Eberhard name and offer “ONE” solution for their customers with one of the broadest engineered access hardware offerings.
