What All-State Industries does

All-State Industries, Inc. is a West Des Moines, Iowa-based custom manufacturer of nonmetallic industrial components for OEM customers, founded in 1974 by Bob Pulver. The company operates five North American manufacturing facilities spanning over 1,000,000 square feet across Iowa, Illinois, Texas, Wisconsin, and Irapuato, Mexico, with approximately 850 employees. It sells exclusively through direct B2B regional sales teams via quote-based custom manufacturing contracts with multi-year engagements, targeting industrial OEMs across roughly ten end markets including agriculture, construction, material handling, mining, forestry, utility, trailer, on/off-highway truck, marine, and infrastructure.

The company's product portfolio is organized around six core manufacturing capabilities: precision die cutting of non-metallic materials, CNC machined plastics (ABS, polycarbonate, PEEK, nylon, acetal, UHMW), molded masticated rubber from recycled tire materials via a proprietary mastication process, open cast polyurethane molding, thermal and acoustic industrial foam insulation, and medium-to-heavy-gauge thermoforming with in-house plastic sheet extrusion. These capabilities are supplemented by value-add services — kitting, riveting, sewing, bonding, lamination, and light assembly — and an in-house materials testing laboratory (Instron Tensile Tester Model 3369, Taber Abrator Model 5135). Named customers include a major defense contractor (tactical military vehicle program), the U.S. Postal Service (next-generation mail truck program, ~16,000 trucks/year for 10 years), a major forklift OEM, and a heavy-duty truck OEM. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified.

Since 2019, the company has been controlled by Blue Sage Capital (Austin, TX) in partnership with the Pulver Family, and has executed three add-on acquisitions: Allied Plastics, LLC (thermoforming, 2021), dB Engineering (thermal/acoustic/vibration, 2022), and United Gasket/Gaskoa Inc. (die-cut gasketing, 2025). Each acquisition added new product capabilities, end markets, and manufacturing capacity, positioning All-State as a single-source turnkey supplier for OEMs seeking to consolidate multiple non-metallic component vendors. Scott Pulver serves as CEO and Doug Tibken, CPA as CFO.

Product overview

All-State Industries is a turnkey custom manufacturer of nonmetallic industrial components serving OEMs globally. The company operates a multi-facility manufacturing platform with five North American locations (Iowa, Illinois, Texas, Wisconsin, and Mexico) spanning over 1,000,000 square feet of manufacturing space with approximately 850 employees. The core product portfolio consists of six primary manufacturing capabilities: Die Cut Products, Machined Plastics, Molded Masticated Rubber, Cast Polyurethane, Industrial Foam Insulation, and Custom Thermoforming. These capabilities are complemented by value-add services including rubber engineering, prototyping, kitting, bonding, lamination, and assembly. The company has grown through strategic acquisitions including Allied Plastics (thermoforming, 2021), dB Engineering (acoustic/thermal/vibration insulation, 2022), and United Gasket/Gaskoa Inc. (custom gasketing, 2025), expanding its market reach and technical capabilities. All-State serves nearly two dozen industries including agriculture, construction, material handling, mining, forestry, utility, trailer, on/off highway truck, marine, and infrastructure, offering a consolidated single-source solution approach for OEMs requiring multiple non-metallic component types.
