Dura Plastics

What Dura Plastics does

Dura Plastics Products, LLC is a US-based manufacturer and distributor of PVC piping components founded in 1962 by Willi and Ursula Rost in West Covina, California, and now headquartered in Beaumont, California. The company operates two manufacturing facilities — in Beaumont, California (primary, since 1969) and in Celina, Tennessee (irrigation control valve boxes, since 2003) — and distributes through seven US distribution centers that fulfill domestic and international orders on a 24/7 basis. Its portfolio comprises approximately 2,800 different types of PVC piping components, including Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 fittings, insert fittings, nipples, manifold systems, valves (butterfly, check, compact ball, safety block, single union), swing joints, flexible repair couplings, specialty components, drainage products, SDR 35 solvent weld fittings, PVC DWV, the proprietary iFuse line of solvent cements and primers, and the patented Monkey Fingers Adjustable Bungee consumer product.

The company sells primarily to contractors and distributors in three horizontal use-case segments: irrigation (the primary segment, covering agricultural, landscape, and turf applications), plumbing (residential and commercial), and pool/spa installations. Its go-to-market is sales-led, executed through direct sales representatives supported by downloadable catalogs, price lists, and a website product portal organized by category, connection type, size, and color. Pricing operates on a unit-pricing, pay-as-you-go basis using a price-class ordering system. Products meet ASTM standards (D2464, D2466, D2467) and the company emphasizes US-based manufacturing.

Dura Plastics remains family-owned and is affiliated with Tigre S/A Participações (Tigre Group), a Brazil-based multinational piping systems company; the company website carries Tigre branding and adheres to Tigre's ethics and compliance program, though the ownership stake is not disclosed. The company holds a patent on the Monkey Fingers Adjustable Bungee. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and there are no recorded funding rounds, acquisitions, or leadership changes in the available data.
