Cascade Engineering Announces Strategic Partnership to Manufacture and Distribute NOAQ Flood Barrier Systems in North America

Grand Rapids, MI — Cascade Engineering Inc., a leader in sustainable plastic injection molding, has announced an exclusive partnership with Sweden-based NOAQ Flood Protection AB to bring innovative flood protection systems to the North American market. Under this agreement, Cascade will serve as a distributor and the exclusive manufacturer of NOAQ’s patented BOXWALL™ and BOXPOOL™ products in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. These products will be available to purchase directly from Cascade Engineering in August of 2025. 

As climate-driven flooding events rise across North America, Cascade Engineering is expanding its capabilities to meet critical infrastructure needs with adaptable and reusable flood protection solutions. The NOAQ BOXWALL™ BW102, a lightweight, self-anchoring flood barrier system, and the newly released BOXWALL™ Storm Anchor will now be manufactured at Cascade’s facilities in Grand Rapids, MI and distributed across North America—making it one of the few flood barrier systems made in the USA. 

“This partnership allows us to deliver a proven, fast-deploying flood protection solution to North America, which connects to our mission of having a positive impact on society and the environment,” said Eric Van Namen, President of Cascade Engineering. “As we work to refine our offerings in alignment with our long-term goals, this innovative product couldn’t be a better fit.”
