What Durex Products does

Durex Products, Inc. is a U.S. specialty manufacturer of screening media and wear protection products for heavy industrial end markets. Founded in 1965 and headquartered in Luck, Wisconsin, the company designs and produces an in-house portfolio spanning woven wire screens, modular urethane and rubber screen panels, branded self-cleaning screen technologies (Livewire®, Armor®, Accuslot®, Vibraspan®, Vibraclean®), urethane and rubber-ceramic wear liners, aggregate equipment wear parts, screen accessories, and concrete plant/truck liners for ready-mix and precast operations. Its core technical differentiator is the combination of three material platforms — high-grade wire cloth, molded polyurethane, and rubber — into hybrid constructions such as tensioned wire-in-polyurethane and self-cleaning rubber-strip-held wires, with tapered openings engineered to reduce blinding and pegging in high-tonnage screening.

The company sells into five primary verticals: aggregate (crushed stone, sand, gravel), mining, recycling, concrete, and broader industrial applications. Its go-to-market combines a specialized dealer network providing onsite application expertise with direct enterprise sales supported by a VP of Sales and Regional Sales Managers. Pricing is quote-based, with standard terms of net 30 days on contracts under $100K and staged milestone payments on larger contracts. In December 2025, Durex Products was acquired by Gerard Daniel Worldwide (backed by Graycliff Partners), positioning the combined platform across North America and Europe through GDW's manufacturing and distribution centers. Northborne Partners advised Durex Products on the transaction.
