Curbell, Inc.

What Curbell, Inc. does

Curbell, Inc. is a privately held, family-controlled industrial and medical products company founded in 1942 and headquartered at 7 Cobham Drive, Orchard Park, New York. It operates as a holding structure over two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Curbell Plastics, Inc., which distributes plastic sheet, rod, tube, film, adhesives, sealants, and prototyping materials to commercial, industrial, government, military, and institutional buyers; and Curbell Medical Products, Inc., which supplies hospital room integration product lines used in patient-care environments domestically and, per company language, internationally. The two divisions share corporate infrastructure while serving materially different end markets.

The company generates revenue through direct B2B field sales of physical materials and integrated products, with no disclosed digital platform, API, software offering, or pricing model transparency. Customer engagement is consultative and problem-solving oriented, with no named key accounts or concentration data available. Distribution is single-country (USA) for the plastics division and extends internationally for medical products. The go-to-motion is traditional direct enterprise sales supplemented by a lightweight social media presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram used primarily for employer branding.

Curbell has invested meaningfully in sustainability operations rather than technology differentiation: it achieved zero-landfill status in 2008 using waste-to-energy incineration, introduced single-stream recycling in 2017, and has received consecutive EPA WasteWise Awards plus the EPA Environmental Champion Award. The business is led by Chairman Tom Leone, with Mark Shriver directing safety and environmental affairs. No venture capital, private equity, or institutional ownership is disclosed.
