History

How It Began...
ZERO Manufacturing, Inc.’s capabilities, and many of its products as manufactured currently, had their beginnings in a small metal shop in southern California named Zierold Metal Corporation. Many people had difficulty pronouncing the name Zierold, so in 1952, after being purchased by Jack B. Gilbert, the name was changed to ZERO. Known as ZERO Corporation, the company grew to include facilities and operations in several locations around the United States.

UK Operations...
In 1983, ZERO Corporation bought Samuel Groves + Co. Ltd., one of the oldest manufacturing companies in Birmingham, England and producer of deep drawn aluminum and stainless steel products. By 1990, European distribution was reorganized and some products redesigned allowing ZERO to adapt its UK division to the unique needs and expectations of European customers. Now, in addition to distributing products made by ZERO in the USA, ZERO Cases (UK) Ltd. produces a wide range of deep drawn aluminum cases and multiple non-case applications specifically designed for the demands of the European market.

Where We Are Now...
Today, the company currently operates under the name of ZERO Corporation, with ZERO Manufacturing, Inc. as a wholly owned subsidiary.
