What Primo Profile GmbH does

Primo Profile GmbH is the German operating subsidiary of Inter Primo A/S, a Danish family-owned plastic extrusion group founded in 1959 by the Grunnet family. The company develops and manufactures custom plastic profiles and polymer components for industrial customers across nine vertical business areas: construction (windows, doors, facades), healthcare (Primo Medico medical tubing), energy and offshore (underwater cable protection to 3,000m depth), transport and automotive (truck/trailer seals, PUR pultruded profiles), HVAC and refrigeration, lighting, electronics and packing tubes, greenhouses, and water treatment. Core technology spans plastic extrusion, coextrusion, PVC compounding (in-house center in Finland), PUR composite pultrusion, ISO Class 8/7 cleanroom medical tubing production in Poland, and 3D printing for rapid prototyping, supported by a Technology and Innovation Centre established in 2023.

The business model is B2B custom manufacturing sold through direct enterprise sales teams organized by industry vertical, with project-based pricing on customized profiles developed in close collaboration with customers. Group revenue was 205 million EUR as of 31 December 2022 across 11-12 production and sales locations in Europe and China, with the first US facility launched in April 2025. Named enterprise customers include VELUX (windows), Coloplast and Carmo (medical tubing), Aker Solutions (offshore cable protection), Krone Vinduer, and WICONA (facade systems). Growth drivers include geographic expansion into North America and Asia, sustainability-led product development under the FUTURE FIT program (2023), and continued vertical integration via in-house compounding and tool-making.
