Clyde was founded in 2025 by Chris Henjum, but inspired by his grandfather, Clyde Hartman. 

Grandpa Clyde taught Chris to strike his first welding arc when he was 14 years old. From there, they welded enclosures for their family farm’s trucks so they could transport goods across the Northwest. In 1995, Chris opened Hydrafab Northwest, a metal fabrication and design company that has created bespoke products for companies across trucking, biotech, aerospace, manufacturing and more industries.

Their family’s rich history of craftsmanship and engineering has culminated in Clyde Manufacturing, founded to provide quality welded trucking solutions for Class 8 vehicles. 

With more than 30 years of experience building truck accessories and 70,000 square feet of shop space located in Spokane, WA, Clyde can provide one-of-a-kind products tailored to any trucking fleet’s needs — and do it faster than any other manufacturer.

We’re committed to building the durable essentials that move the trucking industry into the future — ones that make every journey safer, smoother, and more efficient. But our dedication to quality and craft is a labor of love, tied to a long history of welding excellence.
