Washington Penn

Washington Penn is an active U.S.-based manufacturer specializing in custom polypropylene and polyethylene compound solutions primarily serving industrial sectors such as automotive, appliances, construction materials—with additional product lines tailored for medical devices requiring features like antimicrobial surfaces. The company was founded in 1954 by Albert Andy and his brothers. It operates globally under the parentage of the Audia Group but does not engage directly in drug development or core life sciences activities. While some products are used within healthcare settings—such as hospital beds or device housings—the business itself is best classified within advanced materials manufacturing rather than biotech/pharma/healthcare proper.
