What Industrial Netting does

Industrial Netting is a privately held American manufacturer and custom converter of plastic netting, mesh, and tubes, founded in 1981 and headquartered in Maple Grove, Minnesota (Minneapolis metropolitan area). The company operates an ISO 9001:2015 certified production facility and reports a 99.78% quality performance rate, claiming the largest in-stock selection of plastic netting, mesh, and tubes in the United States. It is a subsidiary of Frandsen Corporation, with Greg Frandsen serving as President and Chief Executive Officer.

The product portfolio spans rigid mesh tubes, extruded diamond and square mesh, oriented polypropylene netting up to 17 feet wide, woven nylon, polyester and polypropylene mesh, expandable protective sleeves (branded NetGuard, Vexar, FlexGuard), and specialty precision products including expanded PTFE, electroformed nickel/copper/gold MicroMesh screens, and photo-chemically etched stainless screens. Core converting capabilities include heat sealing, slitting and rewinding, die-cutting of circles and shapes from 1/2" to 46" diameter, precision mesh tube cutting, and proprietary ultrasonic (sonic) welding for tubes up to 12" diameter, with injection molding delivered through a partnership with Plastech Corporation. The company serves over 50 industries, with primary use cases in filtration and separation, manufacturing and parts protection, food processing and dehydration, warehouse safety (Rack Guard), crushed-car and scrap-metal containment (Car-Go-Net), agriculture and aquaculture.

Industrial Netting operates a dual-channel commercial model: a transactional e-commerce storefront selling stock products with no minimum order and 24-hour shipping, paired with quote-based custom converting services typically delivered in 1-2 weeks. Pricing is unit-based for stock items ($48-$468 for representative filtration and sleeve products) and quote-based for custom work. The go-to-market combines self-serve online purchasing, direct phone sales (800-328-8456), free sample fulfillment, downloadable technical brochures, trade show participation, and modest organic social presence. Geographic reach is North American, with no global footprint claim in the source material, and the customer base is highly fragmented across SMB, mid-market, and enterprise buyers.
