What Prinsco does

Prinsco, Inc. is a third-generation family-owned US manufacturer of water management pipe and chamber systems, headquartered in Willmar, Minnesota, with operations dating to 1975. The company designs and produces HDPE and polypropylene pipe products across four vertical markets: Agriculture (subsurface drainage, mains, grain aeration), Stormwater/Civil Engineering (conveyance, storage, water quality), Residential (foundation and sump drainage), and Onsite/Septic (wastewater management). Its product portfolio centers on registered trade names including GOLDFLO (dual-wall HDPE), GOLDFLEX (flexible dual-wall for trenchless installation), GOLDLINE (single-wall corrugated HDPE), HydroStor (polypropylene stormwater chambers), and Goldpro Storm HP (polypropylene dual-wall for critical applications). Prinsco led the creation of the first-ever ASTM F3390 standard for flexible dual-wall pipe and meets multiple ASTM and AASHTO specifications across its product lines.

The company's core technology is in material science and corrugated/dual-wall pipe extrusion and injection molding, with proprietary engineering in flexible dual-wall architecture (GOLDFLEX), Manning's n value optimization (GOLDFLO at 0.012), and chamber geometry for structural performance (HydroStor). Prinsco distributes exclusively through a direct sales representative network, with customers locating local reps via a 'Find a Sales Rep' tool on its website. Its go-to-market targets project-based buyers—civil engineers, drainage contractors, commercial developers, and farmers—with project specifications supported by CAD drawings, HydroCAD integration, AutoCAD Civil 3D Structures Catalogs, drainage calculators, and a 175+ resource technical library. The company also operates The Water Table, a content-driven educational initiative on agricultural water management. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of pipe and chamber systems; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based through sales reps. Prinsco is privately held, bootstrapped (no external funding rounds documented), and operates in the US and Canada.

Core offering

Prinsco manufactures and sells HDPE and polypropylene pipe products used to move and manage water across four application areas: agricultural drainage, stormwater management, residential drainage, and onsite wastewater. Core products include dual-wall and single-wall corrugated polyethylene pipe, flexible drainage pipe, perforated polypropylene pipe, PVC drainage pipe, injection-molded stormwater chambers, and complementary drainage structures such as catch basins, water level control structures, water quality units, and meter pits. The offering is sold to drainage contractors, engineers, developers, farmers, and distributors through a direct regional sales rep network.

Product overview

Prinsco is a third-generation family-owned water management solutions company offering a comprehensive portfolio of HDPE and polypropylene pipe products across four primary markets: Agriculture, Stormwater, Residential, and Onsite. The product lineup centers on three main pipe types: GOLDFLO® (dual-wall HDPE for stormwater and agricultural drainage), GOLDFLEX® (flexible dual-wall for trenchless agricultural installation), and GOLDLINE® (single-wall corrugated pipe for agricultural drainage). Supporting products include HydroStor® stormwater chambers for underground storage, Goldpro Storm® HP polypropylene pipe for critical applications, specialty products like Goldflo® Aeration for grain storage and GOLDLINE® GLP for leachbed systems, plus accessories including catch basins, water level control structures, and water quality units. The portfolio spans from large-scale commercial stormwater systems to residential drainage applications, unified by HDPE and polypropylene materials that offer corrosion resistance, leak-tight jointing, and long service life. Prinsco also provides technical design tools including calculators, CAD drawings, and integration with HydroCAD and Civil 3D for engineering design.

• Infiltrator Water Technologies: Infiltrator is a leading manufacturer of plastic onsite wastewater treatment chambers and septic systems, directly competing with Prinsco's Pro4 onsite product. Both target the same residential and small-commercial onsite wastewater market segment.
• Pacific Corrugated Pipe Company: Pacific Corrugated manufactures corrugated HDPE and metal pipe for stormwater, culvert, and agricultural applications across the western US. It overlaps with Prinsco's GOLDFLO agricultural and stormwater product categories and serves similar contractor/developer channels.
• Advanced Drainage Systems: ADS is the largest US manufacturer of corrugated HDPE drainage pipe and stormwater chambers, directly competing with Prinsco across Agriculture, Stormwater, and Onsite verticals. Both companies sell dual-wall HDPE pipe meeting AASHTO M294 and similar ASTM standards through contractor and engineer channels.
• Contech Engineered Solutions: Contech provides stormwater conveyance, detention, and water quality treatment systems used by civil engineers and DOTs, overlapping directly with Prinsco's HydroStor chambers and Goldpro Storm pipe. Both companies target spec-in drainage and stormwater infrastructure projects.
