What Engineered Profiles LLC does

Engineered Profiles LLC, founded in 1947 and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, is a custom plastic profile extruder serving OEM manufacturers that require mission-critical plastic components where supply chain failure costs are high. The company designs, engineers, and produces custom extruded profiles from a broad materials portfolio spanning PVC, CPVC, ABS, ASA, HDPE, polycarbonate, polypropylene, TPV, TPE, wood-plastic composites, and bioplastics, and delivers them through just-in-time, custom supply chain models. Engineering services include design collaboration, rapid prototyping via in-house 3D printing (with proof-of-concept delivery overnight), in-house tooling, custom finishing operations, and patented Multi-Core Extrusion (mcX®) technology for high-temperature stability, alongside inline precision cutting to one-thousandth-of-an-inch tolerances, inline spray texturing, and a custom notched-pin punching system.

The company operates two production footprints: the Columbus headquarters and a 93,000-square-foot facility in Ironton, Ohio, opened through a $4 million retrofit of a former DOW Chemical Ethafoam plant announced in November 2021, with plans to add 10–12 extrusion lines and 55 incremental jobs over five years. In December 2021, Engineered Profiles acquired Co-Ex Plastic Tooling, Inc., extending its tooling depth and co-extrusion capability. Revenue is generated from manufacturing custom profile extrusions, tooling, and value-added finishing services under a quote-based, project-specific pricing model; no standard pricing is publicly disclosed and the go-to-market is enterprise direct sales to OEM engineering and procurement teams. Customer evidence spans building products (AZEK DrySpace), freight and shipping (Spraydown aero-guard system), medical devices, mobile and prefabricated construction, and agriculture, supported by ERP-integrated demand forecasting that has reportedly driven stockouts to nearly zero for at least one large-SKU customer.

The customer mix is diversified across nine named verticals — agriculture, building products, energy, freight and shipping, HVAC and filtration, outdoor living, refrigeration, retail and commercial fixtures, and technology and communications — and is sold primarily under multi-year co-engineering relationships rather than spot-market transactions. The company employs 350+ associates across both Ohio locations, with average tenure above 15 years and a leadership team anchored by President and CEO Mike Davis (in role since 2015), COO Brian Davis, CFO Adam Wachter (ex-KPMG, joined 2013), and VPs spanning Sales and Marketing, Innovation, IT, and HR. Engineered Profiles is privately held by its operating owners, has no disclosed venture or private equity sponsor, and has no public ticker; it has been recognized as a Top 25 PVC Profile Extruder in North America, a 2025 Top Pipe Profile and Tubing Extruder, and a 2024 Plastics News Best Places to Work honoree.
