About Laminar Fittings Inc.

US Distribution Partner for World-Class Brass Manufacturing

Laminar Fittings Inc. is a US-based B2B sales and distribution company incorporated in Indiana in 2016. From our offices in Anderson, IN, we serve as the dedicated North American commercial partner for Meridian Corporation — a 50+ year vertically integrated brass and metal fittings manufacturer headquartered in Jamnagar, India.

Through this exclusive Joint Business Relationship (JBR), we bridge two worlds: world-class manufacturing economics from a vertically integrated, dual-ISO/IATF certified facility in the global capital of brass — combined with US-based account management, sales engineering, regulatory documentation support, and US-warehoused stock for fast-moving SKUs.

This split structure means our OEM, distributor, and retail customers get the unit economics of direct factory sourcing without giving up the responsiveness, contract clarity, and time-zone alignment of working with a US-based supplier.
