Dura-Cast Products

What Dura-Cast Products does

Dura-Cast Products, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned rotational molder headquartered in Lake Wales, Florida, founded in 1987 by Bruce Orcutt and now led alongside his son David. The company manufactures seamless, single-piece polyethylene tanks and containers (capacities from 1 to 12,500 gallons) using rotational molding, with an in-house Mold Fabrications team that enables both standardized catalog production and custom-engineered solutions through a dedicated Design Engineering group. Its product portfolio spans eight verticals: agriculture (livestock and citrus equipment), aquaculture, marine (water tanks, bait wells, seats, sumps for boat builders), material handling (bins, carts, trucks), laundry/linen services, refuse/municipal, cooking oil recycling, and water/wastewater treatment.

The business operates a sales-led go-to-market, selling directly to OEMs, distributors, dealers, and end consumers via a quote-based eQuote system, with custom projects routed through the Design Engineering team. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of standardized tank and product lines plus custom rotomolding services, with quote-based pricing and stated minimum order quantities (e.g., 24 pieces for general-purpose tanks). Distribution channels include direct OEM sales, distributor and dealer networks, direct consumer sales, and a custom solutions sales motion targeting enterprise clients.

The company's market position rests on three defensible assets: facility-level NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and NSF/ANSI 372 certifications enabling potable-water applications, FDA 21CFR 177.1520-compliant resins for food-contact products, and accumulated rotomolding know-how that supports large-format tanks which the company states can only be manufactured through rotational molding. Named customers include marine OEMs Boston Whaler and Sea Ray, alongside a fragmented base of hospitals, hotels, municipalities, and agricultural operations across the Southeast US. Pricing is non-public and per-quote, and the company carries no disclosed funding history, parent company, or acquisition activity.
