TBL Performance Plastics

TBL Performance Plastics, founded in 1978 and headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana, is a specialized contract manufacturer for the single-use bioprocessing market. The company provides integrated solutions in tubing, fittings, and clean-room assembly, leveraging expertise in engineering polymers to create custom, disposable systems for drug production. Its acquisition by SaniSure strengthens its position as a key supplier in the growing bio-pharmaceutical supply chain, offering innovation like its aSURE™ fittings to reduce supply chain risk and cost for clients.

Integrated manufacturing platform for non-metallic single-use bioprocessing components, specializing in polymer extrusion (tubing), injection molding (fittings), and clean-room assembly. Proprietary technologies include the aSURE™ integrated gasket fitting and expertise in silicone, PVDF, polypropylene, and fluoropolymers.

Competes in a fragmented but consolidating market against large diversified players (e.g., Thermo Fisher, Danaher, Merck) and smaller specialized manufacturers. Differentiation is achieved through vertical integration (tubing, fittings, assembly), proprietary product designs like aSURE™ fittings, and deep materials expertise. The acquisition by SaniSure elevates its competitive scale.
