CHALFANT is a Cleveland, Ohio-based manufacturer focused on loading dock equipment for commercial warehousing. It produces dock seals and related products sold wholesale to roughly 250 dealers across the United States and internationally, with national accounts including Walmart, Home Depot, Menards, and Kohls. With more than seven decades of operation, the company remains privately held as a family-owned business spanning multiple generations. Its products are designed to address energy efficiency at dock doors by reducing heat and HVAC losses.

The business's history stretches back to 1940, when Harvey Chalfant founded it, initially producing awnings and canvas products for World War II before shifting toward metal components and dock seals. It has remained a private, family-led enterprise into a third generation, with Tom and later Jeff Chalfant leading the company, and it diversified in the mid-1950s by adding cable tray support systems and acquiring several Ohio awning firms, while creating related ventures such as Chalfont Rattan Furniture and Chalfont Products Company, a holding entity.
