Custom plastic profiles
Since 1973, ABI Profils has been designing and manufacturing custom single-material plastic profiles for the most demanding sectors.
Our extruded profiles combine precision, strength and consistent dimensional stability.
Manufactured in France on our single- and twin-screw extrusion lines, they are tailored to your specific requirements in terms of geometry, mechanical properties and finishes.
Applications
Single-material plastic profiles are used across a wide variety of industrial sectors. Their design flexibility allows optimal adaptation to every environment:
- Building & interior fittings: cladding, sealing, structural or finishing profiles
- Automotive & transport: rigid or flexible profiles for protection, trim elements or sealing components
- Medical & paramedical sectors: clean, stable profiles suitable for controlled environments
- Dynamic storage & logistics: guiding profiles, end-stops, glide rails and functional components
- POS & packaging: holding profiles, label-holders, grippers and display elements
- Sports, leisure & DIY: lightweight, resistant and aesthetic components for indoor or outdoor use
- Electronics & aerospace: insulating or protective profiles designed for high mechanical and thermal constraints

- Thicknesses: from thin (0.5 mm) to thick (>5 mm), depending on the material
- Formats: solid, hollow, tubular, flat or complex profiles
- Dimensional tolerances: adjusted according to the technical requirements
- Finishes:
○ Smooth, satin, textured or grained surfaces
○ Colour in the mass (RAL, Pantone, or transparent)
○ Special finishes: cutting, drilling, bonding or assembly - Conditioning: delivered in bars, coils or pre-cut lengths
- Production volumes: medium and large series
Custom dies and tooling
Our extrusion dies and tools are designed using 3D/2D CAD software.
Each development is monitored through a Product Development Sheet (FDP), detailing all functional, aesthetic and environmental specifications.
This complete in-house mastery guarantees responsiveness, confidentiality and consistent quality at every stage.

Materials used
A selection of polymers tailored to your needs
We extrude a wide range of thermoplastic materials selected for their mechanical, chemical and aesthetic properties.
Each material is chosen according to your specification, final use and application environment.
Available materials: Rigid or flexible PVC, PEHD, PP, PS, ABS, PMMA, PA, PC, ASA, SEBS, TPU, TPV, PETG, and other technical or recycled formulations.
Examples of material properties
- Rigid/Flexible PVC: impact resistance, electrical insulation
- ABS: rigidity, aesthetic finish, thermal stability
- PEHD / PP: chemical resistance, low weight, durability
- PA / PC: excellent mechanical and thermal resistance
- PMMA / PETG: transparency and brilliance for aesthetic applications
- SEBS / TPU: elasticity and flexibility for soft profiles
All materials are recyclable, with certain grades available in recycled or food-grade versions where needed.
Manufacturing process and quality
Plastic extrusion: our core expertise
Plastic extrusion is a continuous process in which a thermoplastic material is heated, conveyed through a screw system, then pushed through an extrusion die to achieve its precise shape.
The extruded product is then calibrated, cooled and cut, ensuring stable dimensions and a uniform finish.
ABI Profils operates 15 single- and twin-screw extrusion lines (WEBER, AMUT, BATTENFELD CINCINNATI), configured for:
- parts from 10 g to 5 kg per linear metre
- various formats: tubes, profiles, sheaths, cores
- standard and technical materials: PVC, PP, PEHD, ABS, PA, PC, etc.
Each line is equipped with volumetric or gravimetric dosing systems ensuring perfect dimensional and colour consistency.
All production is traceable, controlled and compliant with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.
