An end member (202) is dimensioned to engage an end of a flexible spring member (210) to at least partially form a gas spring assembly. The end member (202) includes an end member wall that has a longitudinal axis. The end member includes a securement wall portion (280) having an outer surface with a surface profile dimensioned to abuttingly engage the end of the flexible spring member (210). The surface profile includes a plurality of concave profile sections and a plurality of convex profile sections that are dimensioned to generate a progressively increasing compression force along at least a section of the securement wall portion (280).
