Profextru

What Profextru does

Profextru Productie B.V. is a privately held Dutch manufacturer of large plastic profiles, founded in 1960 and headquartered at the Polymer Technology Park in Hardenberg, the Netherlands. The company operates four sub-brands targeting distinct B2B verticals: Combiboard (plastic wall systems for agricultural and building/construction applications), Prolock (patented sheetpile walls and seepage screens for bank, dike, and watercourse protection), Profex (low-maintenance plastic wall cladding for leisure, residential, and horticulture buildings), and Excellent Panel (corrosion-resistant wall and ceiling panels for car and truck wash facilities). All products are extruded in-house from recycled PVC, with the company rescuing approximately 10 million kilograms of industrial plastic waste from incineration annually and offering minimum service lives of 60 years (100 years for Prolock dike applications).

The firm's technical foundation rests on over six decades of extrusion expertise, complemented by a fully integrated in-house engineering department and tool-and-die shop that enable rapid custom prototyping of large plastic profiles. Quality assurance is anchored in ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 26000 certifications, alongside MVO Prestatieladder Level 4 — a distinction held by only ~40 companies in the Netherlands — and inclusion of the Prolock product line in the Nationale Milieudatabase and DuboCalc procurement software via a Stimular-produced LCA. Distribution is organized by brand with dedicated Business Unit Managers, Account Managers, and Sales staff, supplemented by an international ambassador network across France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands. The go-to-market mix combines direct enterprise/field sales with a heavy event-driven component — UNITI expo 2026 (Stuttgart), SPACE 2025 (Rennes), Car Wash Show Europe 2025 (Amsterdam), and scheduled open factory days at Hardenberg — plus brand-specific websites and a presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

• Wavin (Orbia): Wavin — a Dutch plastics systems giant that historically operated from the same Polymer Technology Park (Wavin-terrein) site in Hardenberg where Profextru is based. Both companies specialize in extruded PVC products for construction, agriculture and infrastructure, making Wavin the closest historic and geographic direct peer despite its much larger scale.
• Pipelife: Pipelife is one of Europe's largest PVC pipe and profile systems manufacturers, including substantial Dutch roots. It competes directly with Profextru in PVC extrusion for construction, infrastructure and agricultural end-uses.
• Brett Martin: Brett Martin is a UK-based plastic extrusion manufacturer producing PVC sheets, profiles and cladding systems for construction and industrial applications. Comparable in technology and end-use to Profextru's Combiboard, Profex and Excellent Panel ranges.
• Dyka Group: Dyka is a Netherlands-headquartered manufacturer of PVC pipe, fittings and extruded plastic systems serving construction, civil engineering and agricultural markets — a near-identical product/sector overlap to Profextru's Combiboard and Prolock lines.

Broad incumbents

• REHAU Industries: REHAU is a global polymer extrusion incumbent producing PVC profile systems, wall cladding and infrastructure products. Comparable in technology and end-markets to Profextru but operating at much broader scale across multiple polymer families.
• Aliaxis: Aliaxis is a Belgium-headquartered global leader in PVC, PP and PE pipe and profile systems serving building, infrastructure and industrial markets. A broad incumbent comparable to Profextru across product technology, end markets and international sales reach.
• Geberit: Geberit is a Swiss-listed specialist in plastic piping and installation systems, including PVC-based wall and plumbing profiles for construction. A broad incumbent peer whose technology base (plastic extrusion, recycled content) directly overlaps Profextru's Combiboard construction applications.
• Sekisui Chemical: Sekisui Chemical is a Japanese diversified chemical and plastics conglomerate with global operations in PVC products, infrastructure systems and construction materials. A broad incumbent competing with Profextru in profile extrusion for water infrastructure and construction.

Others

• Nucor Skyline: Nucor Skyline is a major North American manufacturer of steel sheet piling used for bank and dike protection — the same end use as Profextru's Prolock product. An adjacent/alternative-materials peer whose competitive position shapes the market Profextru attacks with recycled PVC.
