Profile Products, Buffalo Grove, Ill., and American Excelsior, Arlington, Texas, have an international sales and marketing partnership. The partnership provides Profile with a line of erosion control and turf establishment blankets and turf reinforcement mats, while offering American Excelsior access to Profile’s international distribution network.

The companies will work together on projects and will collaborate on new product development. The products supplied by American Excelsior will be marketed under Profile’s legacy Futerra brand.

Partnering with American Excelsior is a “major win” for both companies, said John Schoch, CEO and president of Profile. “We can now offer a broader range of options,” Schoch said.

Terry Sadowski, CEO and president of American Excelsior, added, “We have been evaluating the international market for several years and Profile is a perfect partner for us. Profile has an extensive network of distributors and technical sales people that offer an ideal channel for us to enter the international arena on a large scale.”
