PROLINE

What PROLINE does

PROLINE Industrial Workbenches is a US-based manufacturer of modular ergonomic industrial workbenches, workstations, laboratory furniture, and material handling equipment, founded in 1978 and headquartered at 10 Avco Road, Haverhill, Massachusetts. The company designs, engineers, and manufactures its products domestically, serving industrial production, electronics manufacturing, laboratory/cleanroom, aerospace and defense, automotive service, warehousing, and packaging environments. Its core technology is a platform-plus-modules architecture: a family of foundational workbench frames (Model HD, Ergoline EL/ELHD, MVSII Millennium, CHD, Dimension Next, Flex-Line, Basics, TSHD, PCP, ECB) onto which a universal library of interchangeable accessories — drawers, shelves, uprights, lighting, power supplies, casters, ESD ground kits, bin holders — mounts across all models, supporting load capacities up to 5,000 lbs and height adjustment via pull-pin, hand-crank, or electric programmable mechanisms.

The product portfolio extends into specialized verticals including cleanroom-compatible lab benches (Class 100 with HEPA filtration, epoxy resin / stainless steel / Chem-Guard surfaces), material handling stations (retractable ball transfers, mobile hydraulic scissor lifts, belt conveyors, flow racking), packaging benches, and computer/LAN workstations. Notable engineering capabilities include synchronized multi-station electric adjustments (e.g., eight linked 4-unit benches for 32-foot jet fighter wire harness assembly maintaining 1/8-inch tolerance) and custom RAL color matching.

PROLINE generates revenue through direct sales to enterprise customers, regional distributors such as Daneker Electronics, and federal procurement via GSA Schedule Contract GS-27F-030CA (Special Item Number 71 310, expiring July 31, 2025). Pricing is quote-based, supported by an interactive Build-a-Bench/Build-a-Pack-Bench/Build-a-Lab-Bench/Build-a-Chair 3D configurator suite and a Quick Ship program delivering stock models within 5 days. The company claims penetration across nearly every Fortune 500 company in America, operates with 51–100 employees, and is privately held with no disclosed external funding, subsidiaries, or M&A activity.
