Viaflex

What Viaflex does

Viaflex is a privately held U.S. manufacturer of engineered polymer films, geomembranes, and barrier products founded in the 1970s and headquartered in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The company produces reinforced films (Dura-Skrim® series), textured geomembranes, vapor and oxygen barriers (Absolute Barrier®, VaporBlock Plus®, FeedFresh®), HDPE pressure pipe and conduit, and specialty industrial films using polymers including HDPE, LLDPE, chlorosulfonated polyethylene, EPDM, polypropylene, and EVOH barrier resin. Manufacturing relies on extrusion processes and proprietary heat fusion fabrication technology that can reduce field seaming by up to 80%, with operations spanning sites in Sioux Falls (HQ), Madison, South Dakota (fabrication), and Wheat Ridge, Colorado (installation subsidiary).

The company serves six primary verticals — agriculture, construction, energy (oil & gas), geomembrane/environmental, industrial manufacturing, and telecom/utilities — with applications ranging from silage covers and underslab vapor barriers to landfill caps, frac water reservoirs, and telecom conduit. It carries ISO 9001:2015, NSF/ANSI Standard 61, City of Los Angeles Methane Mitigation, and Build America Buy America certifications, and deploys IAGI-certified welding technicians through its wholly-owned installation subsidiary Colorado Lining International.

Viaflex operates a sales-led go-to-market model, generating revenue through one-time product sales of readymade and custom-fabricated films and liners, plus professional services revenue from custom fabrication, design-build consulting, and certified installation. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; customer engagement runs through a direct sales team, website quote requests, and consultative technical selling. Distribution is primarily domestic (United States) with direct-to-job-site delivery of prefabricated large panels, and the company maintains a multilingual website (10 languages) signaling selective international market awareness.
