Pro Poly of America

What Pro Poly of America does

Pro Poly of America, Inc. is a US-based manufacturer of thermoplastic (polypropylene) fabricated products, headquartered at 230 NE 25th Avenue, Ocala, Florida, with between 51 and 100 employees. Originally established in 1991 as Pro Poly, Inc. and later renamed Pro Poly of America, Inc., the company designs and builds water and foam tanks (5 to 5,000-gallon capacities) and truck bodies for the fire service industry, alongside storage tanks, brine salt tanks, and tool holders for commercial and industrial customers.

The company's core technical asset is Polyrene®, a proprietary, specially formulated copolymer plastic used across its Polyprene® water and foam tanks and under its PolyBilt and Truck Made™ sub-brands. Polyrene® is positioned to resist rusting, cracking, and corrosion and to deliver lower weight than fiberglass and stainless steel in specific applications. Product portfolio breaks into three streams: Polyprene® water and foam tanks (the core line), PolyBilt vehicle bodies (fire, tow, rescue), and Truck Made™ commercial/industrial storage solutions. The company holds registered trademarks for Polyrene®, PolyBilt, and Truck Made™ and references ISO certification on its website.

Pro Poly generates revenue via direct hardware sales to end customers — fire departments, commercial fleet operators, and industrial facilities — through a direct sales motion (toll-free phone, email, and a website contact channel). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers are required to contact the company for project-specific quotes, consistent with custom and configured-to-order manufacturing. Operations are domestic (United States only) and the company appears to be founder/owner-operated with no disclosed external funding, institutional ownership, or parent company.
