Where We Started
General Cage was established in 1964 as a spin off of Monticello Manufacturing, an Elwood, Indiana manufacturing company. Monticello had been manufacturing a trash burner, made of a wire-mesh design in a square, that one large customer had been selling as a cage to hold puppies. With early identification of an opportunity the company developed a plan and hired a sales force to sell into the pet trade, which in those days was non-existent. The customer base and product offerings have grown considerably since our early days and we still maintain our founding commitment to customer satisfaction and innovative products for the care of animals.

Where We Are Today
Today, General Cage is the place to find innovative product designs with the highest standards for quality. We are very proud to have supplied products to customers around the world, both big and small, in the quest to provide pet containment solutions. We have designed and developed innovative products, with customer friendly features, in wire crates, soft-sided carriers, vehicle barriers, yard scoops, grooming items and more.
