Entrance automation and dock equipment manufacturer serving global logistics
4Front manufactures entrance automation systems, loading dock equipment, and warehouse solutions across eight owned brands (Kelley, Serco, TKO Dock Doors, Epic Fans, Albany, Dynaco, APS Resource, 4SIGHT). The tech stack is classical enterprise—JD Edwards, SQL, Microsoft Office, Power BI—reflecting a manufacturing-operations posture, while active hiring in engineering and sales alongside projects in ecommerce integration and barcoding systems suggests modernization of order-to-fulfillment workflows in a high-volume make-to-order environment.
4Front Engineered Solutions designs, manufactures, and distributes entrance automation products and warehouse solutions to distribution centers, manufacturing plants, retail facilities, and logistics operators across approximately 80 countries. The company operates through a network of distributors and installers, complemented by direct aftermarket support via APS Resource. Founded in 1953 and acquired by ASSA ABLOY in 2012, 4Front is now part of the Entrance Systems division. The organization manages complex product lines—from dock levelers and industrial doors to energy-efficient HVAC fans and digital yard-management software—serving customers whose core challenge is throughput and safety at loading docks and warehouse perimeters.
Core systems include JD Edwards (ERP), SQL databases, Power BI (analytics), Microsoft Office suite, and Autodesk Inventor (CAD). The stack reflects traditional manufacturing operations rather than cloud-native architecture.
The company designs and manufactures in the United States (headquarters in Carrollton, Texas) and distributes through partners in approximately 80 countries worldwide. Current hiring is U.S.-based.
