What Adell Plastics, Inc. does

Adell Plastics, Inc. is a privately held plastics compounder founded in 1957 and headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. The company develops proprietary engineered thermoplastic compounds and operates toll-compounding services for industrial customers. Its material portfolio centers on nylon, polypropylene, polyester (both PET and PBT), polycarbonate, and silicone concentrates, with compounding also performed for adhesives and rubber products. End markets include medical, automotive, film, fiber, and electronics manufacturers that use the compounded resins as raw inputs.

Operations are anchored at three production sites, including the company's Baltimore, MD headquarters and a wholly owned production subsidiary, Adell Polymers, Inc., in Petersburg, WV. Compounding lines are rated between 200 and 5,000 pounds per hour, allowing economical runs across both small toll batches and larger proprietary volumes. A dedicated process lab supports scale-up from lab work to full production, and the on-site quality control laboratory holds ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation from ANAB, while all three plants are ISO 9001 certified by Intertek.

The business model is B2B and sales-led, with customers requesting quotes via phone, email, or website contact forms. Revenue is generated through toll compounding fees and sales of proprietary engineered compounds; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company has between 101 and 250 employees, no outside investors, no parent company, and no recorded M&A, funding rounds, or leadership transitions in the available data. Leadership is headed by CEO Struse Yoehan.
