Greenco

What Greenco does

Greenco MFG Corp. (DBA Greenco, also operating as Greenco/Duramaster Cylinders) is a family-owned industrial manufacturer founded in 1970 and headquartered in Tampa, Florida. The company designs and builds pneumatic linear actuator product lines, principally rodless cable cylinders under the Cable-Trol® brand, guided cable cylinders under the Trac-Trol® brand, and short-stroke inflatable bladder actuators under the Powr-Tube® brand, alongside standard pneumatic air cylinders, tie rod cylinders, and air oil tanks. All products are manufactured in the United States at a single 25,000-square-foot energy-efficient facility that also houses four related motion-control and industrial divisions (including Duramaster Cylinders, Loadhalt, and Trimotion Industries), and operations are certified to ISO 9001:2015 (Certification No. 50471494). The company's differentiation centers on space-saving cylinder designs (approximately 50% footprint reduction versus conventional rod cylinders), durable leak-proof bladder bonding for short-stroke actuators up to nearly 100 feet, and a long-tenured workforce with most co-workers exceeding 10 years of service.

Greenco generates revenue through direct B2B sales of custom-configured hardware to industrial customers across the United States and internationally, with stated end markets including robotics, automotive, and food processing. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with optional accessories (automatic tensioners, flange mounts, H-trolleys, reed switches, magnetic pistons, cable wipers) ordered on inquiry. Distribution is direct to enterprise buyers via the company website, phone, and inquiry forms, supplemented by participation in industry events such as the USF engineering expo and downloadable technical documentation (catalogs, engineering specs, parts lists, dimension sheets). The business is debt-free, family-owned across multiple generations, and led by President Joe Green, with no external institutional investors, parent company, or public listing.

Core offering

Greenco designs and manufactures industrial pneumatic linear actuators, including rodless cable cylinders (Cable-Trol®), guided cable cylinders (Trac-Trol®), short stroke inflatable bladder actuators (Powr-Tube®), standard pneumatic air cylinders, guided linear air actuators, tie rod cylinders, and air oil tanks. The products are sold directly to industrial businesses for use in automation, robotics, automotive, food processing, material handling, and other industrial applications, with optional configuration accessories available.

Product overview

Greenco is a manufacturer of quality industrial pneumatic linear actuator products, consisting of several related divisions including Greenco/DuraMaster. The product portfolio centers on three main space-saving cylinder lines: Cable-Trol® rodless cable cylinders (offering approximately 50% space savings), Trac-Trol® guided cable cylinders (with integrated linear motion control), and Powr-Tube® short stroke inflatable bladder actuators. These core products are complemented by standard pneumatic air cylinders, guided linear air actuators, tie rod cylinders, and air oil tanks. The company also offers a comprehensive range of optional accessories including automatic tensioners, flange mounts, H-trolley's, reed switches, magnetic pistons, and cable wipers. All products are manufactured in the USA at the company's Tampa, Florida facility.

Products and services

• Cable-Trol® Rodless Cylinder A space-saving rodless cable cylinder providing approximately 50% space savings versus conventional rod cylinders while delivering the same stroke with pneumatic pistons. Effective piston area is greater than conventional rod cylinders with equal force in both directions; designed for industrial applications including remote location, rotary motion, and around-corner routing.
• Trac-Trol® Guided Cable Cylinder A guided cable cylinder with linear motion control ideal for applications requiring a load-bearing system that is self-guided and self-supported. Offers the same 50% space savings as Cable-Trol® with integrated guidance for precise linear movement.
• Powr-Tube® Short Stroke Actuator An inflatable bladder short stroke linear actuator that provides high forces over both short and long distances. Features non-removable end fittings bonded to tubes (up to nearly 100 ft. length) for leak-proof, long-lasting, low-cost actuation.
• Pneumatic Air Cylinders Standard pneumatic air cylinders available in various designs for pneumatic, hydraulic, or high pressure applications. Configurable with optional ports, positions, automatic tensioners, and reed switch packages for industrial use.
• Guided Linear Air Actuators Linear air actuators with guided motion for applications requiring precise linear movement control. Configurable with accessories such as automatic tensioners and reed switch packages for industrial automation.
• Tie Rod Cylinders Traditional tie rod style pneumatic cylinders designed for industrial applications requiring robust construction and reliable performance.
• Air Oil Tanks Air-oil tanks for industrial applications requiring combination pneumatic-hydraulic actuation systems.
• DuraMaster Cylinders A related division under the Greenco family of companies offering quality industrial pneumatic products including rodless cylinders, guided cylinders, tie rod cylinders, and air oil tanks for industrial applications.
• Optional Accessories for Greenco Cylinders A range of configuration accessories including Automatic Tensioners, Flange Mounts, H-Trolley's, Reed Switches, Magnetic Pistons, and Cable Wipers for configuring and customizing Greenco pneumatic cylinder products.
