Permaloc

What Permaloc does

Permaloc Corporation is a privately held, founder-owned manufacturer of aluminum landscape edging and restraint systems, established in October 1983 by landscape architect Dan Zwier and headquartered at 13505 Barry Street, Holland, Michigan. The company extrudes 6063 aluminum alloy (Silicon-Magnesium) into more than 600 SKUs across 12 branded product lines, including CleanLine and CleanLine XL (commercial-grade landscape beds), ProLine and ProSlide/ProSlide LT (residential and light-commercial), PermaStrip, StructurEdge, BrickBlock, AsphaltEdge, AthletEdge, GeoEdge, and ResinStop. Differentiation is anchored by patented connection systems—Snap-Down (stakeless interlocking) and QuickClip (BrickBlock)—plus a pending integrated permeable pavement restraint/capture plate system, DuraFlex powder coat finishes, and LEED-qualifying sustainable construction that supports recycled aluminum content.

Permaloc runs a three-tier go-to-market: direct specification support to landscape architects (CAD/Spec downloads in PDF and DWG, BIM objects, custom detail drawings, and Lunch-N-Learn programs), a global stocking dealer and distributor network (the primary revenue channel, supported by same-day shipping and qualified lead referrals), and direct sales for large government and commercial projects via toll-free phone, live chat, and online Request for Quote. Pricing is quote-based with no public list prices, consistent with a relationship-driven, project-bid sales motion. Marquee specification wins include the High Line (New York), the National September 11th Memorial, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Annenberg Center at Sunnylands, Nationals Ballpark, King Abdulaziz International Airport (Jeddah), Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque (Abu Dhabi), and the Lady Diana Memorial Fountain (Hyde Park).

Revenue is generated entirely from one-time product sales of physical aluminum edging systems to dealers, contractors, and end customers, with no recurring software, subscription, or service components. The company has operated continuously for over 40 years under founder ownership (Dan Zwier remains CEO), has raised no disclosed private equity or venture capital, and does not publicly report financial performance. Supporting go-to-market activities include an educational blog, active social channels across Facebook, X, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Flickr, and YouTube, a dealer referral program, and a project photo gallery that markets the brand to architects and specifiers globally.
