Custom
GRP Profiles
Limitless construction possibilities
Does your project require a specific wall thickness, a complex shape, or unique material properties? Daléro specializes in custom pultrusion. Our pultrusion machines produce custom GRP profiles with a maximum width of 122 cm and a maximum height of 40 cm. Working alongside your engineers, we develop and manufacture glass-fiber reinforced plastic (GRP) profiles with tight dimensional tolerances, precisely tailored to the mechanical and chemical requirements of your sector. From prototype to high-quality series production, we realize your exact specifications in accordance with the strictest European quality standards.
To create a custom GRP profile, we follow these steps:
- Profile design phase
- Material selection
- Development of the required mold
- Production of the GRP profile
- Quality control
- Delivery
1. Profile design phase
Daléro determines the shape, size, and mechanical properties of the GRP profile based on specific application requirements, utilizing CAD (computer-aided design) software. As an experienced supplier of GRP profiles, Daléro is happy to act as a collaborative partner throughout this process; by consulting with our production department, we ensure a solid final result.
2. Material selection
Next, it is important to select the appropriate resin and reinforcement materials for the desired GRP profile. Daléro specifically tailors this material selection to the application requirements, such as the necessary corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, or fire safety.
3. Development of the required mold
A GRP pultrusion die is a type of mold specifically designed for the pultrusion process. Daléro develops the required mold precisely according to the specified shape and dimensions of the desired GRP profile.
4. Production of the GRP profile
The manufacturing process for custom GRP profiles typically involves pultrusion, in which a (glass) fiber-reinforced composite is continuously pulled through a resin bath and then through a heated die to cure the resin and create the desired shape.
5. Quality control
Once the GRP profile has been manufactured, we subject it to various quality checks. As standard, Daléro’s structural profiles already meet the stringent European quality standard EN 13706 (class E17 or E23). For custom profiles, quality control is specifically tailored to the agreed product specifications and applicable requirements; for instance, Daléro aligns these checks with the application's mechanical strength, chemical resistance, fire safety, and dimensional accuracy.
6. Delivery
Finally, we securely package all GRP profile orders for transport, and our shipments are delivered across Europe to the customer's desired location.
The average lead time for custom GRP profiles is 12 weeks. The exact lead time depends on the specific profile required. The schedule is always determined in consultation with you.

Partnering with Daléro means choosing certainty. We are a renowned GRP supplier with experience in manufacturing custom profiles. We look forward to serving you.
Customize it yourself
Is only a small adjustment necessary, for example in the length? Then you can easily customize the profiles yourself by sawing or grinding them.
Custom plastic profiles
Custom-made profiles are plastic profiles specifically designed and manufactured to meet particular requirements and specifications that are not available in standard products. Custom profiles are widely used in industrial applications such as construction, the agricultural sector, HVAC, and mechanical engineering.
While custom profiles are often more expensive than standard ones, they offer several advantages, such as the ability to meet specific application requirements and the reduction of the need for additional fabrication or assembly. It is important to partner with a reputable manufacturer experienced in producing custom profiles to ensure the final product is of high quality and meets the specified requirements.
STANDARD
Composiet profiles
We supply composite profiles in all shapes and sizes.
In our extensive standard range you will find profiles in different shapes, dimensions, thicknesses and lengths.
The advantages of composite profiles
With a glass fiber content of approximately 60%, our GRP profiles offer high stiffness and tensile strength, making them highly suitable for structural applications. Composite material does not rust or rot and withstands all weather conditions. Unlike steel, which is susceptible to corrosion, our GRP profiles remain low-maintenance in corrosive environments. Furthermore, with a density of approximately 1.9 kg/dm³, composite profiles are significantly lighter than steel profiles, contributing to lower transport and installation costs.
No corrosion Composite will not rust or rot and can withstand all weather conditions
Sustainable Has a lower CO2 consumption than wood, steel and concrete and has an expected lifespan of 50+ years
Low maintenance Composite is easy to assemble and requires little to no maintenance
Strong In some cases, composite is even stronger than steel
Fire resistant The use of specific resins makes composite fire-resistant
Custom design Composite can be designed and produced in many possible shapes
Chemical resistant Composite resists highly aggressive chemicals
light weight Composite profiles are considerably lighter than steel profiles
Not magnetic Composite is not affected by magnetic fields
