MHI Solutions Improving Supply Chain Performance
Profielnorm USA proudly celebrated the official opening of its manufacturing facility in Plainwell, Michigan, on April 21, 2026. The new facility represents a major milestone in the company’s growth and marks an important next step in the international expansion of PRN Group.
For the first time, Profielnorm’s renowned cold-formed steel mezzanine systems are being manufactured in the United States, bringing production closer to customers and strengthening the company’s ability to serve the North American market.
Supporting the Growing Demand for Warehouse Optimization
Across the United States, businesses are facing increasing pressure to maximize the use of existing facilities. The continued growth of e-commerce, automation, and high-density warehousing has intensified the need for efficient space utilization.
Mezzanines[Sv1] offer a practical and cost-effective solution by creating additional usable floor space within an existing building footprint. Rather than investing in costly facility expansions or relocations, companies can utilize vertical space to support storage, production, fulfillment, office functions, or automation equipment.
Profielnorm specializes in custom-engineered cold-formed steel mezzanines which are designed to meet the specific operational requirements of each customer. With cold formed steel as the core material, the Profielnorm mezzanine system offers an exceptional strength to weight ratio, a lower cost basis, and a great environmental sustainability scorecard. While fully meeting all customer technical requirements, the mezzanine system has been intentionally engineered to simplify installation, accommodate integration with other systems, and allow for future modification if needed. Every project is tailored to the facility, workflow, and future growth plans of the customer.
Profielnorm USA mezzanines solutions are used across:
- Distribution centers
- Manufacturing facilities
- Fulfillment centers
- E-commerce operations
- Office and production support areas
By helping customers maximize available space, our mezzanines contribute to improved operational efficiency, increased storage capacity, and greater flexibility for future expansion.
Warehouse operations continue to evolve and flexibility has become increasingly important. Businesses need solutions that can adapt to changing inventory levels, automation strategies, and future growth plans. Custom mezzanines provide exactly that flexibility, allowing organizations to scale their operations without the disruption and expense of relocating to a larger facility.
Manufactured in the USA, Backed by Global Expertise
The opening of the Plainwell facility combines the best of two worlds: local manufacturing capabilities and decades of international experience.
For more than 25 years, Profielnorm has designed, engineered, and manufactured custom mezzanine solutions for warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and industrial buildings across Europe. With successful operations in the Netherlands, Poland, and the United Kingdom, the company has built a strong reputation for quality, reliability, and engineering excellence.
Now, that expertise is available through local production in the United States. The new Michigan facility enables Profielnorm USA [Sv2] to manufacture mezzanines domestically, reducing lead times, increasing flexibility, and allowing the company to respond more quickly to customer requirements. At the same time, customers benefit from the engineering knowledge, design standards, and best practices developed throughout the wider PRN Group organization.
This combination of local presence and global expertise creates a strong foundation for continued growth in America.
A Long Awaited Milestone
The opening of the Plainwell facility is the result of several years of preparation, investment, and growth in the American market. Since establishing Profielnorm USA in 2023, the company has focused on building a local team, strengthening customer relationships, and gaining a deeper understanding of the unique requirements of the American warehousing and logistics industry.
What began with a small office in Michigan has now evolved into a full-scale manufacturing operation. By bringing production to the United States, Profielnorm USA combines local responsiveness with the expertise, engineering standards, and manufacturing knowledge developed throughout more than two decades of international operations.
“Opening this facility is a major milestone for our organization. For years, we have successfully delivered mezzanine solutions around the world, and now we are able to manufacture those same high-quality mezzanines right here in the United States. This investment allows us to be closer to our customers, respond faster to their needs, and continue building long-term partnerships throughout the United States.” – Henry Dingemans, Managing Director of Profielnorm USA
The new facility is not only an investment in manufacturing capacity; it is an investment in customer service, operational flexibility, and long-term growth. By producing locally, Profielnorm USA can better support customers from initial concept and engineering through manufacturing, installation, and after-sales support.
Growing the Team
The opening of the manufacturing facility marks the beginning of a new phase for Profielnorm USA, and with growth comes opportunity.
As production activities continue to expand, the company is actively investing in its workforce and looking for talented professionals to join the team. Opportunities are available across manufacturing, engineering, sales, project management, and operational support functions.
Profielnorm USA offers employees the chance to work in a dynamic and international environment while contributing to projects that help leading organizations optimize their warehouse operations. Team members benefit from the support of a global organization while playing an active role in shaping the future of the company’s American operations.

Looking Ahead
The opening of the Plainwell facility represents more than the launch of a new factory, it marks the start of a new chapter for Profielnorm USA and PRN Group in America.
With local manufacturing, a growing team, and the support of an international network, Profielnorm USA is uniquely positioned to serve the evolving needs of warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities across America.
As demand for warehouse optimization, automation integration, and scalable storage solutions continues to grow, the company remains focused on what has driven its success for more than 25 years: delivering high-quality mezzanine solutions while building lasting relationships with customers, partners, and employees.
