Inland Packaging

What Inland Packaging does

Inland, Inc. is a privately held US manufacturer of construction adhesives, silicone sealants, latex caulks, and glazing products, operating since approximately 1980 out of a single facility in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. The company sells under its proprietary trademark label INNERBOND® and offers a catalog of 17+ SKUs spanning acetic-cure silicones (GP70S, C-911, C-915, B-910), neutral-cure silicones (C-970, C-990, C-811), specialty silicones for high-heat (C-800) and stone/marble/granite (C-770), acrylic latex caulks (411, 414, 416), a butyl sealant (201), an industrial/military-grade silicone (1410), and silicone insulating compounds (Z-24, Z-61). Multiple products carry federal, military, food-contact, and drinking-water certifications including MIL-A-46106A, MIL-S-8660C, FDA 21 CFR 177-2600, USDA, NSF/ANSI 61, ASTM C-920-79, AAMA 808.3-05, and TT-S specifications, supporting applications in construction, industrial, military, HVAC, and food-service channels.

The business operates a direct-to-customer GTM: orders are taken via phone (270-737-6757), toll-free (1-800-626-4403), fax, and email, and products ship via UPS, FedEx, or freight carriers. The company incentivizes bulk purchasing by qualifying orders over $1,750 for freight-paid shipping (excluding a $12 fuel surcharge). Unit pricing on cartridges ranges roughly $3.42 to $7.70 for most sealants and caulks, with specialty items (e.g., Z-24/Z-61 compounds in 8 oz tubes or 1-gallon pails) priced up to $170. Beyond catalog sales, Inland generates revenue from custom color matching services for 100% silicone sealants (10 business day turnaround, 5-case minimum) and from private-label/custom packaging services offered to other brands selling under their own names.

The company serves a horizontal mix of customer segments: kitchen & bath (DIY homeowners and remodelers), window & door (window manufacturers and installers), general construction, industrial/MIL-spec applications, and custom color projects. Two SMB case-study customers are publicly featured — Wagler Windows (Greensburg, KY) and Kentuckiana Re-Bath (Louisville, KY). No institutional investors, parent companies, M&A activity, or non-US operations are disclosed, and the company does not publish revenue figures.
