Founded in 1968, Norwalk, CT-based USA specializes in construction anchors, fasteners and other components through brands that include TOGGLER, Wej-It and Heckmann. USA also has a distribution division — Gotham Building Supplies.

USA is one of the only American anchor manufacturers that produces most of its anchors and custom products domestically.

Jordan Eisenberg will become the CEO. Previously he was CEO of specialty fasteners manufacturer Mechanical Plastics Corp. Eisenberg holds dual Bachelor of Engineering degrees in computer science and mathematics from Vanderbilt University.

He will work closely with former co-owners Ted Garfield and David Garfield, who will maintain an ownership interest in the company. Ted Garfield will become a board member.

“Since my father’s founding of the original business over 50 years ago, the company has continued to drive success through our dedication to our customers,” stated Ted Garfield. “We are excited to work with both the Kinderhook team and Jordan Eisenberg to maintain this tradition and take the company to new heights.”

Founded in 2003, Kinderhook is an $8.5 billion private investment firm. The US Anchors acquisition is the firm’s 31st light manufacturing/automotive investment.
