Inpro: products, markets, and the EPD coverage gap

Where Inpro plays in the building

Inpro manufactures interior and exterior architectural products that show up all over a facility. Core lines include door and wall protection, cubicle curtain and privacy systems, commercial window treatments, washroom systems, expansion joint systems, architectural signage, elevator interiors, and imaging products like printed wall panels. Think hospitals, schools, airports, data centers, and senior living.

One brand, many product families

They are not a pure play. Inpro sells across seven plus categories with hundreds of SKUs, from corner guards and handrails to seismic expansion joints and shades. That breadth makes them easy to single‑source for interiors packages, but it also raises the bar for maintaining up‑to‑date documentation across many lines.

EPDs at Inpro today

Historically, Inpro published product‑specific EPDs for wall and door protection families with UL as program operator. Many of those declarations are still downloadable on product pages, yet a large share appear past their printed validity dates. EPDs are typically valid for five years, so age matters when a project team checks dates at submittal time (EPD International FAQ, 2025). One current bright spot is solid surface, where a Prism Solid Surface EPD remains in force into 2026. The rest looks light.

Why that gap matters commercially

When a project chases material transparency credits under current owner standards or LEED v5 drafts, a product without a current, product‑specific EPD usually gets penalized by being modeled with a generic, often higher, impact value. That pushes buyers toward options with verifiable numbers, not just familiar names. We see teams trim bid cycles by avoiding back‑and‑forth over expired documents.

A concrete example: corner guards

Corner guards are a likely volume driver for Inpro. Their product pages still host EPD PDFs, but many look expired. Meanwhile, Construction Specialties lists active EPDs for corner guards and related wall protection families with validity running into January 2026 (NSF Listings, 2024). In a healthcare fit‑out, that can be the difference between being considered first or swapped late in the game. It is defintely avoidable.

Who Inpro meets in the spec arena

• Wall and door protection, handrails, sheets and panels: Construction Specialties, Pawling.
• Expansion joints and fire barriers: Balco, MM Systems, Sika Emseal.
• Window treatments: Mecho, Draper.
• Washroom partitions and accessories: Scranton Products, ASI, Bradley.
• Architectural signage: 2/90 Sign Systems, ASI Signage. Competitors that keep current EPDs for high‑velocity SKUs often win tie‑breakers on projects that prefer or require them.

What would move the needle fastest

Prioritize renewal for the families that drive most quotes. For Inpro, that likely means wall sheets and panels, corner guards, wall guards, handrails, and door protection. Then plan a second wave for expansion joints and window treatments. Pick the prevailing PCR used by competitors to stay apples‑to‑apples, confirm the operator timeline, and build a clean data trail so verification is smooth. A partner that handles cross‑plant data collection and shepherds reviews saves your product teams from spreadsheet purgatory and gets credible EPDs in market quickly.

Closing thought

Inpro’s catalog is broad, and specifiers know the brand. Bringing EPD coverage back in line with the product range turns that recognition into repeatable wins. Five solid, current declarations in the highest‑velocity families will do more for revenue than twenty PDFs no one can use after the date on page one (EPD International, 2025).
