K-Profile

What K-Profile does

K-Profile AG is a Swiss specialty manufacturer of custom-extruded thermoplastic profiles, headquartered and produced in a single facility in Bischofszell, Canton Thurgau. Founded in 1998 and operating as a privately-held company with 11-50 employees, the firm sells exclusively B2B under a "100% Swiss Made" positioning, targeting industrial manufacturing, lighting, furniture, retail/exhibition construction, and medical/food/chemical segments across the DACH region and France. Pricing is quote-based with no public price list and a 500-meter minimum production quantity, scaling up to series of 100,000+ meters.

The core technology is thermoplastic profile extrusion supported by full vertical integration: 3D CAD design, in-house tool construction (Werkzeugbau) using extrusion dies the company owns outright, 3D printing for rapid prototyping, and end-of-life recycling of plastic profiles. K-Profile processes a broad material portfolio spanning mass plastics (PS, PVC, PP, PE), technical plastics (polyamide, ASA, PMMA, PSU, PPS, polycarbonate), fiber-reinforced plastics (FVK/GVK) for lightweight structural applications, and bioplastics (PLA, PHB, starch blends, WPC) marketed under the "Green Profile" line. Specialized products include lighting diffuser profiles for the LED and vehicle industry, RAL/NCS-colored profiles with hot-stamped finishes for retail and exhibition, furniture finishing profiles, and the antiviral Clip-On-Tube co-developed with Impromat Sàrl.

The go-to-market is sales-led with event-driven amplification. Customers initiate contact through the company website, complete Form F34 with technical specifications, and submit PDF plus CAD files (.step, .dwg, .dxf) for quote generation; an online calculator supports initial price discovery. K-Profile actively exhibits at KPA Ulm and Bad Salzuflen, FAKUMA, and Thurgauer Technologietag, and holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001 certifications. Revenue mechanics are project-based custom manufacturing with no subscription, recurring, or platform component, and the company has no disclosed funding, parent organization, or subsidiary structure.

• REHAU Industries: Global polymer products group with window/profile systems and industrial extrusion; competes for the same industrial OEM profile RFPs that K-Profile chases, albeit with much larger scale and a broader geographic footprint.

Regional players

• Profine GmbH: European manufacturer of PVC profiles for window and door systems; overlaps with K-Profile's window/door construction applications segment but is far larger and focused on PVC building-product volumes rather than diversified custom extrusions.
• Salamander Industrie-Produkte GmbH: German PVC profile systems producer for windows and doors with broad color and surface finishing options (RAL, foiled finishes)—directly overlapping K-Profile's retail/trade-show and furniture edge-profile aesthetic capabilities at the construction-profile level.
• Deceuninck NV: Belgium-headquartered PVC profile systems supplier for windows, doors, and related construction applications; competes with K-Profile in building-product profile channels, though focused on higher-volume standardized profiles rather than small-batch custom extrusion.
