- A. Schulman, Inc. (SLMNP) operates as a subsidiary of LyondellBasell Industries N.V., serving as a leading supplier of high-performance plastic compounding products, color concentrates, masterbatches, and specialty additives; its core offerings include low-density and high-density polyethylenes (LDPE, HDPE) under the Polyflam brand, polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), and polyphenylene sulphide (PPS) also under Polyflam, engineered styrene polymers such as ABS, MABS, and blends (ABS/PA, PC/ABS) under Polyman, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC) and blends (PC/PBT), polyacetyls (POM) under Schulaform, polyamides (PA6, 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. Founded in 1928 and headquartered in Fairlawn, Ohio, the company supports diverse markets including packaging, automotive, building and construction, electronics, agriculture, personal care, and consumer goods through global manufacturing facilities and technology centers in North America, Europe, and other regions. Its integration into LyondellBasell's Advanced Polymer Solutions segment followed the parent's completion of a $2.25 billion acquisition in August 2018, which doubled compounding capabilities and expanded high-margin applications; the SLMNP preferred stock remains actively traded with institutional holdings as of 2025, reflecting ongoing legacy financial interests.
