Business
A. Schulman, Inc. (SHLM) supplies high-performance plastic compounds, resins, color concentrates, and additives for use as raw materials across diverse applications; core products encompass engineered plastic compounds including low- and high-density polyethylenes (LDPE, HDPE), polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), and polyphenylene sulphide (PPS) under the Polyflam brand; derivatized styrene polymers such as ABS, MABS, and blends (ABS/PA, PC/ABS), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), and polycarbonate (PC) and blends (PC/PBT) under the Polyman brand; polyacetyls (POM) under Schulaform; polyamides PA6 and PA66 under Schulamid; polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) under Schuladur A; polyurethane (PUR) under Polypur; polyvinyl chloride (PVC) under Polyvin; and styrene acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN) under Polyfort, alongside custom performance colors, engineered composites like bulk molding compounds and sheet molding compounds, polymer solutions with fiber reinforcements, specialty powders, and size reduction services including jet and cryogenic milling. The company serves markets including packaging, mobility (automotive), building and construction, electronics and electrical, agriculture, personal care and hygiene, sports, home, leisure, and custom services worldwide, with manufacturing and support facilities across North and South America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Founded in 1928 by Alex Schulman in Akron, Ohio -- historically headquartered in Fairlawn, Ohio, with later addresses in Houston, Texas under parent ownership -- A. Schulman operates as a subsidiary of LyondellBasell Industries N.V. following its $2.25 billion acquisition completed in 2018, which integrated its operations into LyondellBasell's Advanced Polymer Solutions segment to expand high-margin end markets and product portfolios; recent activities reflect this structure with no independent major funding, acquisitions, or strategic shifts reported since, maintaining focus on compounded plastics innovation and global supply.
