About Washington Penn
The power of legacy.
Our company was started 70+ years ago and our reputation as a plastics leader has never been stronger.
Our History
Washington Penn was founded in 1954 by Albert Andy (pictured above) and his three brothers with the desire to do great things...and do good. Together, they were determined to expand and grow, focusing on manufacturing polyolefin-based products and diversifying our plastics portfolio.
Today, Washington Penn continues to grow while still maintaining the strong culture of family and innovation we've always been known for. As a leading provider of polypropylene and polyethylene compounds, decades of expertise and dedicated customer service has helped us realize one thing: our greatest successes come when our customers achieve theirs.
What began as a small company has now grown into a global operation. Take a journey through our historical milestones and learn how we continue to build upon our legacy.
