What Collins Company does

Collins Company is a U.S.-based custom textile manufacturer and installer founded in 1974 and operating from two production facilities in Ontario, California and Cumming, Georgia. The company designs, fabricates, and installs windscreens, netting, padding, bleacher wraps, scaffold tarps, and supporting accessories for athletic, stadium, construction, theme-park, and residential applications. Its technical capabilities include custom digital printing, proprietary Dyneema netting, removable drink-rail padding, retractable field-goal netting, hidden grommet flap attachment systems, and custom cable-frame engineering for complex bleacher geometries, with 100% in-house production and no outsourced fabrication or installation.

The company operates a multi-channel go-to-market combining turnkey enterprise projects (targeting NFL, NCAA, K-12, and entertainment venues), material-only fulfillment for self-installing contractors and homeowners, wholesale/distributor partnerships (including BSN Sports), and inside sales supported by website-driven quote requests. Pricing is project-based with free quotes, multi-year contract cadences on turnkey work, pay-as-you-go on materials, and volume discounting for repeat and bundled orders. Marquee customers include SoFi Stadium, Kennesaw State University, Notre Dame, University programs, Los Angeles Chargers, and Lockheed Martin, with a cumulative customer base cited at over 60,000 schools, sports facilities, and global brands. Revenue is generated one-time on custom-fabricated products plus professional installation services.

The business is privately held, third-generation family-owned, and explicitly emphasizes premium craftsmanship, durability, and end-to-end project accountability. In 2025 the company doubled West Coast production capacity with a new Ontario facility and additional equipment, signaling capital investment in expanding national logistics and shortening lead times. Customer concentration is spread across K-12, collegiate, professional sports, construction contractors, theme parks, distributors, and homeowners, with channel partners including Hellas Construction, J.E. Dunn Construction, and BSN Sports handling scale distribution and on-site general contracting relationships.

Core offering

Collins Company is a custom manufacturer and installer of windscreen, netting, padding, bleacher wraps, and scaffold tarps for athletic facilities, stadiums, schools, and construction sites. The company offers in-house custom textile fabrication, full-color UV-protected digital printing, and turnkey project management including measurement, fabrication, and professional installation. Products are made-to-order to exact specifications and ship nationwide from dual production facilities in California and Georgia.

Product overview

Collins Company is a custom fabrication manufacturer offering a portfolio of physical textile products—primarily windscreen, netting, padding, bleacher wraps, scaffold tarps, court accessories, field accessories, and installation hardware. These core products are complemented by three service offerings: Turnkey Service (full project management from measurement through installation), Material-Only Service (fabrication and delivery for self-install), and Custom Printing (full-color UV-protected digital printing on windscreen, padding, and bleacher wrap products). The products work both independently and in combination; for example, windscreen and custom printing combine to create branded privacy screens, while netting and padding are frequently paired for safety upgrades at stadiums and athletic facilities. All products are custom-fabricated to order in-house at Collins' California and Georgia facilities.
