Discover our bespoke plastic extrusion solutions for the transport industry Technical plastic components engineered to meet the demanding requirements of the transport sector.
Plastic tubes and extruded profiles for the transport industry
Since 1973, ABI Profils has been a recognised supplier of extruded plastic tubes and technical plastic profiles for transport applications.
Our solutions are designed to meet the specific expectations of the automotive industry (passenger vehicles, HGVs, buses), the rail sector (trains, trams) and the aerospace industry.
Our expertise in extrusion, co-extrusion and post-extrusion enables us to deliver high-performance components aligned with the industry’s needs for safety, durability, precision and lightweight design.
Our plastic solutions for the transport sector
Sealing and insulation profiles
We manufacture a wide range of plastic sealing profiles used in automotive and HGV systems:
- Window, door, panoramic roof and boot sealing profiles
- Insulation profiles for engine compartments
- Insulating solutions adapted for HGV AdBlue systems
Deflectors and flaps
Our plastic deflectors and flaps contribute to the aerodynamics of HGVs and commercial vehicles. Custom-extruded, they improve performance while complying with sector-specific safety standards.
Interior plastic profiles
We design interior plastic profiles for public transport (buses, coaches, trains) and for the aerospace industry:
- Window trims, pillar covers and ceiling components for coaches and buses
- Plastic components for seat trays, seating elements and interior fittings in aircraft and trains
These solutions combine strength, visual quality and lightweight design, while meeting fire, smoke and environmental regulations.
Technical plastic tubes
We develop rigid or flexible plastic tubes for a wide variety of functions:
- Tubes for fluid transport (cooling, air, AdBlue, etc.)
- Guide tubes and spring sleeves
- Winding mandrels for adhesive tapes and technical films used in electric vehicle battery production
