Palram

What Palram does

Palram Industries Ltd is an Israeli-headquartered (Kibbutz Ramat Yohanan) manufacturer of extruded thermoplastic sheets and panel systems, established in 1963 and privately held. The company produces primarily polycarbonate and PVC products in corrugated, flat, and multiwall configurations, operating nine production sites and dozens of sales and distribution offices spanning six continents. It markets more than 20 branded product families (SUNTUF, PALRUF, PALSUN, PALBOARD, SUNLITE, SUNPAL, PALCLAD, among others) supported by proprietary technologies including MetalMatch™ for corrugated metal profile matching, SolarSmart™ for selective IR transmittance, HYG™ for antimicrobial protection, and BioBase™ for bio-attributed feedstocks, plus the recently launched PALBOARD Terra composite integrating UBQ™ upcycled household waste.

The company serves six primary customer segments: construction and architecture (roofing, cladding, skylights, facades, glazing), agriculture (greenhouse covers, animal confinement), sign and display (signage, printing substrates, POP), safety and security (ballistic panels, containment glazing), industrial fabrication (transportation, medical, interiors), and DIY/residential consumers via the Canopia sub-brand for ready-to-assemble outdoor kits (greenhouses, gazebos, carports, patio covers, pool enclosures). Distribution runs through direct enterprise sales, regional sales offices (e.g., Kutztown PA, Doncaster UK), and localized country websites.

The business model is product-based with two complementary streams: B2B sales of thermoplastic sheet/panel systems to manufacturers, builders, architects, and large-project contractors (typically quote-based, specification-driven sales funneled through the project support center); and B2C direct-to-consumer sales of finished DIY outdoor living kits under the Canopia brand. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 certifications, is a VinylPlus member, and operates a closed-loop manufacturing process that recycles more than 13,000 tons of polycarbonate and PVC annually with under 1% waste, positioning both a sustainability claim and a structural cost advantage.
