What Insultab does

Insultab is a heat shrink tubing product brand owned by Pexco LLC, a private North American custom plastic solutions company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. The brand manufactures PVC, polyolefin, and specialty polymer heat shrink tubing products, including cross-linked PVC grades (HS-105, HS-205), polyolefin grades (HS-101 family, including semi-rigid and multi-wall adhesive-lined variants), and specialty material grades — fluoroelastomer (HS-VTN), PVDF (HSK-600), and chlorinated polyolefin elastomer (HSN-100) — along with regulated-grade products such as medical-grade USP Class VI tubing (HS-714, 100% factory double-tested) and USFDA-compliant food-grade tubing (HS-614). Insultab also markets VinylGuard protective coverings and assorted kits/dispensers for industrial shop use.

The business serves industrial OEM customers across at least eight vertical markets: Aerospace & Defense, Electrical & Electronics, Medical & Life Sciences (primary); Energy & Power Generation, Fluid Handling, Data Center Infrastructure, Semiconductor, and Telecommunications Infrastructure (secondary). End-use functions include insulation, strain relief, protection, bundling, sealing, and identification for wire, cable, and component applications in demanding environments.

The revenue model is direct B2B hardware sales with quote-based pricing (no public pricing disclosed) and multi-year contract billing cadences targeting enterprise industrial buyers. Go-to-market is anchored on a corporate product catalog, technical resources, and a "Request a Quote" workflow. Manufacturing is delivered through a 13+ facility North American network spanning the US (Atlanta, Asheboro, Athol, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Plaistow, Yorba Linda, Ravenna, Sparta, Tacoma, Wallingford, Wisconsin), Canada (Grand Falls, New Brunswick), and Mexico (Monterrey), with wholly-owned subsidiaries including Wisconsin Plastic Products and Precise Aerospace supporting additional custom plastic and aerospace component capabilities.
