What ABC Industries does

ABC Industries, Inc. is a US-based, privately held manufacturer of industrial ventilation ducting and technical textile fabrics, headquartered in Winona Lake, Indiana with a branch facility in Grand Junction, Colorado. The company was founded in 1926 as American Brattice Cloth, originally producing jute brattice cloth for coal mine ventilation, and has since evolved into a diversified specialty industrial manufacturer serving mining, aviation, construction, military, equipment rental, RV, and event rental end markets across North America and internationally.

The company operates two principal product lines. The Industrial Ventilation Ducting (IVD) line includes wire-reinforced flexible ducting (MineDuct®), lay-flat oval blower ducting (MineVent®), filament-wound rigid fiberglass tubing (RigiDuct®, MSHA-approved), high-temperature and HVAC ducting variants, vane axial and belt-driven fans, and aircraft pre-conditioned air and lavatory waste hoses. The Industrial Textile Fabric (ITF) line includes reinforced vinyl laminate structures (VentaSpan®), RV bunk-end fabrics (VRX-14™), and returnable packaging and dunnage fabrics (Packa-Tex™). Core manufacturing processes are sewn construction, heat-sealed construction, and filament-wound fiberglass — conventional industrial textile techniques, with no disclosed software or AI components.

ABC Industries sells through a direct B2B sales motion, reachable via toll-free phone, email, and website contact forms, with custom-solution engineering as a stated differentiator. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated per project. The company maintains ISO 9001:2015 certification, MSHA approval for mining products, and compliance with UL94VTM-O, California Fire Marshal, and NFPA701 fire-resistance standards. Ownership is private following a 2019 transaction with a group of private investors, succeeding prior private investor ownership acquired in 1989 and a prior 1972–1989 tenure as a subsidiary of Fortune 500 company Peabody Galion.
