What Us Fabrics Inc. does

US Fabrics, Inc. is a Cincinnati, Ohio-based privately held national distributor of geosynthetic materials serving civil engineering and construction projects across all 50 U.S. states. The company sources, aggregates, and distributes under its own US-branded lines plus exclusive or preferred arrangements with manufacturers including DuPont (Spunbond nonwoven geotextiles), Strata (Stratagrid geogrids), and SKAPS (HDPE and LLDPE geomembranes). Its catalog spans woven and nonwoven geotextiles, geogrids, geomembranes, geosynthetic clay liners, geonets/geocomposites, drainage composites, cellular confinement systems, and specialty products, all marketed as NTPEP audited and AASHTO M-288 compliant.

The company's operating model is direct-sales led: customers call a toll-free line and reach geotextile specialists immediately, or submit website/app quote requests. Pricing is quote-based with a one-roll minimum and 24-hour shipping on stocked items; there is no retail or third-party reseller layer. The technical-resource website, Universal Product Comparison tool, drop-in specifications, and a first-in-industry iOS/Android mobile app are positioned as primary differentiators against commodity distributors, supported by educational blog content and DOT specification pages for all 50 states.

US Fabrics serves three primary buyer personas — civil engineering and construction professionals (engineers, architects, consultants), contractors, and construction-supply distributors — with project-tied, transactional volume. The firm is small (11–50 employees), independently held, and has no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or leadership changes in the available data. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales plus freight charges, with no subscription or recurring component.

Revenue model

1. Geosynthetic Product Sales: US Fabrics generates revenue by selling geosynthetic materials (geotextiles, geogrids, geomembranes, drainage composites, and related products) to contractors, engineers, and distributors. The company sources and stocks its own exclusive product lines and sells directly to end customers. Products are sold with minimum purchase of one full roll, with typical 24-hour shipping on in-stock items.
2. Freight and Logistics: The company derives additional revenue from freight charges associated with product delivery. Shipping and packaging information pages reference freight as a separate cost component.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Tensar International: Established manufacturer of biaxial and uniaxial geogrids for soil stabilization and pavement applications. Competes with US Fabrics' BaseGrid and Stratagrid geogrid lines and can sell direct to large DOTs and contractors.
• Strata Systems: Manufacturer of Stratagrid geogrids and soil reinforcement products. Both a US Fabrics channel partner and a partial competitor, as Strata also sells through its own distribution network, illustrating the manufacturer-direct threat.
• Advanced Drainage Systems (ADS): Leading manufacturer of water management products including HDPE drainage structures and geosynthetics. Competes with US Fabrics on geotextiles and drainage composites while leveraging significantly greater scale and brand recognition.
• Propex Global: Manufacturer of woven and nonwoven geotextiles, erosion control, and pavement reinforcement products. Comparable geosynthetics portfolio to US Fabrics' reinforcement and stabilization lines.
• Solmax (Tencate Geosynthetics): Large global geosynthetics manufacturer with woven and nonwoven geotextiles, geomembranes, and geogrids. Competes with US Fabrics across multiple product categories and sells directly to engineering firms and contractors.
• CETCO (Mineral Technologies): Manufacturer of geosynthetic clay liners, bentonite-based containment products, and waterproofing systems. Directly competes with US Fabrics' ClayArmor GCL line in environmental containment applications.

Emerging players

• North American Green: Manufacturer of erosion control blankets and turf reinforcement mats with overlap into geosynthetics-adjacent civil construction applications. Partial product overlap with US Fabrics' specialty erosion and stabilization offerings.

Others

• SKAPS Industries: Manufacturer of HDPE and LLDPE geomembranes and nonwoven geotextiles. Existing upstream supplier to US Fabrics (their SKAPS-branded geomembranes are distributed by US Fabrics) but also sells directly to contractors, making them both a partner and an indirect competitor.

Direct peers

• ACF Environmental: Geosynthetics distributor serving Eastern U.S. markets with geotextiles, erosion control blankets, and related construction products. Directly comparable catalog overlap and customer base to US Fabrics.
• Hanes Geo Components: National geosynthetics distributor offering erosion control, geotextiles, geogrids, and sediment control products to the construction market. Direct competitor to US Fabrics in serving contractors and engineers across the U.S. with comparable product breadth.
