Palram Americas

What Palram Americas does

Palram Americas is the North American operating subsidiary of Palram Industries Ltd., a privately held multinational plastics manufacturer founded in 1963 at Kibbutz Ramat Yohanan, Israel. The company produces extruded thermoplastic sheets, panel systems, and ready-to-assemble outdoor living products made primarily from polycarbonate and PVC, sold under product families including SUNTUF, SUNTUF PLUS, PALRUF, AG-TUF, EZ GLAZE, PALSUN, PALBOARD, SUNLITE, SUNGLAZE, SUNPAL, PALCLAD, and SUNTUF STADIA. Its proprietary technology platforms—MetalMatch (custom corrugation profile matching), SolarSmart (selective light/heat control), HYG (active antimicrobial protection), and BioBase (bio-attributed sustainable feedstocks)—differentiate its products and underpin its sustainability positioning. Manufacturing is supported by nine production sites globally with a closed-loop recycling process that recovers 13,000+ tons of polycarbonate and PVC annually with less than 1% manufacturing waste.

The company serves a diversified vertical mix spanning construction and architecture, agriculture, sign and display, safety and security glazing, industrial fabrication, and DIY/residential outdoor living, with marquee reference projects including ANZ Stadium, Beijing Capital International Airport Terminal 3, Allianz Parque, Aviva Stadium, Mercedes Benz R&D Center Bangalore, Helios Krefeld Clinical Center, and Amberley RAAF Base. Customer segments are reached through a multi-channel go-to-market model combining direct regional sales offices (Kutztown PA; Doncaster UK; Ramat-Yohanan Israel), a global distributor and wholesale network serving professional contractors, fabricators, architects, and sign makers, and a separate Canopia consumer division distributing ready-to-assemble kits (greenhouses, gazebos, sheds, patio covers, carports, pool enclosures) through home improvement and garden retail channels. Palram Americas reports 251-500 employees and operates from its US office at 9735 Commerce Circle, Arcadia West Industrial Park, Kutztown, PA.

Revenue is generated through one-time product sales of both semi-finished industrial sheets and finished consumer kits; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company holds certifications including ISO 14001, ISO 45001, REACH compliance, RoHS compliance, VinylPlus membership, and verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). Ownership remains founder/kibbutz-derived and private; no public listing, venture capital, or private equity involvement is disclosed in the source material. The company is led at the Americas level by President & CEO Amon Wirthiem, with global operations extending to six continents.
