Keder Solutions

What Keder Solutions does

Keder Solutions, LLC is a privately held U.S. manufacturer of keder systems—fabric-connection technology consisting of an extruded PVC core with a sewn or bonded fabric sleeve that creates weather-tight, wind-resistant seals for temporary and permanent fabric structures. Founded in 2009 and headquartered at 7265 South 1st Street, Oak Creek, Wisconsin, the company was established by Keith Eismann and John, both veterans of Karl's Event Rental, after they identified a market gap in reliable keder sourcing for the tent and event-rental industry. Today, Keder Solutions serves tent and fabric structure builders, marine fabricators, U.S. military and government contractors operating under Berry Amendment compliance, banner and signage print professionals, agricultural operators, awning and shade builders, pool cover fabricators, and custom extrusion customers, with stated reach to professionals across North America and select international markets.

The product portfolio centers on keder configurations—Single Flap, Double Flap, Welded Flap, Flat-Back, and the proprietary DuraKeder fully-bonded variant—supported by PVC keder cord, aluminum and PVC keder rails (single, double, awning, and specialty sizes from 5 mm to 19 mm), flat keder for Silicone Edge Graphics (SEG) systems, and a fabric and vinyl line that includes SUPERCLEAR transparent vinyls (1600–8000), KS Series laminates, ULTRA Series coated fabrics (1900–4300), mesh fabrics, and Berry-compliant keder fabrics. Adjacent offerings include Crocodile Hangers, HangTite Hangers, DriZip industrial zippers, Menax snap fasteners, and a complete pool cover hardware system. The company operates its own PVC extrusion manufacturing capability with state-of-the-art machinery and an engineering team that converts customer CAD drawings into dies and finished custom profiles, and maintains a registered brand identity as Keder Solutions® with a sub-brand, Keder MacroPrint™, in large-format digital print media.

Revenue is generated primarily through direct B2B e-commerce and phone-driven quote-based sales, with no public price lists disclosed and order sizes ranging from short custom runs to bulk contracts (the company has referenced spanning 25 feet to 8 miles of material). A "Become a Distributor" channel program and a strategic partnership with Keder MacroPrint for print-media distribution through three U.S. warehouses supplement direct sales, while direct account managers support larger enterprise and government customers. Pricing is uniformly quote-based; revenue streams are recorded as one-time product sales plus custom extrusion professional services; and the customer mix spans SMB consumers, distributors, and larger enterprise/government accounts without disclosed revenue concentration.
