What Drossbach N. A. Inc. does

Drossbach N. A. Inc. is a Canadian-incorporated manufacturer and distributor of corrugated plastic tubing and wire conduit, founded in Germany in 1919 and now operating as a North American subsidiary of the French conglomerate DELFINGEN Industry S.A. Through its Canadian corporate and manufacturing entity in Trenton, Ontario and its US sales and distribution entity in Stow, Ohio, the company produces convoluted tubing from polyethylene, nylon (including UV-rated variants), flame-retardant polyethylene, and flame-retardant polypropylene, sold in bulk reels, coils, precut lengths, dispenser boxes, and retail polybag packaging. The product set has expanded beyond rigid corrugated plastic into a broad textiles and smooth tubes line covering impact sleeving (NU-CRUSH), coated sleeving (NU-SLEEVE), expandable sleeving (LANGOFLEX), self-closing sleeving (NU-GUARD), heat shields (NU-KOOL/NU-SHIELD), shrinkable sleeving, and silicone/PVC smooth tubing, supplemented by REIKU robotic cable management and UL/CSA conduit distributed under partnership.

The business runs an industrial B2B direct-sales model with quote-based pricing, custom component and tooling capabilities (cuffed tooling from 1/4" to 4"), and short-term-demand responsiveness positioned as a stated differentiator. Customers span automotive (the primary vertical and the driver behind IATF 16949:2016 certification), marine, agriculture, construction, telecommunications, emergency vehicles, recreational vehicles, trucks, buses, and heavy equipment, with a recent push into retail/SMB water-management products such as the Sump Pump Discharge Kit. Quality and compliance posture is anchored by ISO 9001:2015, IATF 16949:2016, RoHS, REACH, California Proposition 65, Conflict Minerals, and CUSMA certifications, supporting supply into regulated OEM and USMCA cross-border programs. The company is privately held, does not disclose revenue, and has no public listing.
