General Specialties Manufacturing Inc.
General Specialties LLC began as a small family business with an emphasis on boat building and marine fabrication in Alaska in the early 1980’s. The original owners expanded to general steel and aluminum fabrication in North Idaho in the early 1990’s. In 1993 a local solar wholesale company approached General Specialties with a design for a roof mount that they needed manufactured. This was the first version of the current S-Rail series. By 1996 the company was selling to other wholesale companies throughout the United States and added the UPM series to the product line. Under new ownership, General Specialties Manufacturing, Inc. was launched in September of 2014. With the focus remaining on using high quality material, workmanship and design; making the mounts extremely durable to withstand fierce winds and heavy snow.

Mission Statement
About Us
Since taking over the business the new owners, Mark and Katie have been able to cut lead times in order to meet customer demand. By making customer satisfaction and quality products a priority, the company continues to increase its production and sale of mounts each year.
General Specialties has remained a family owned and operated business in North Idaho and is proud to offer products that are manufactured in the USA. The product line contains a variety of mounting systems for roof, ground, wall, side of pole and top of pole. In addition to the standard product line the company also manufactures custom mounting systems for those unique jobs.
The quality workmanship and engineering we put into every product truly does make a difference
The welds are strong and professional, edges are clean and deburred, metal parts are substantial and robust, bolt holes line up the way they should. General Specialties mounts are characterized by heavy-duty construction, ease of assembly, and are easy to adjust for seasonal tilt angle. If you have worked with other mounts, you can really appreciate the ease of adjustment that our solar panel mounts offer.
