Teel Plastics | Finalist for 2022 Processor of the Year

Baraboo, Wis.-based Teel Plastics is the only repeat Processor of the Year finalist this year. Teel won the PN Excellence Award for industry and public service in 2019. Last year the company was a Processor of the Year finalist and won the 2021 PN Excellence Award for customer relations.

Teel took home another major award in 2022: It was the winner of the 33rd annual Manufacturer of the Year Award — large company category — from Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce. In that contest, it was up against some of the best manufacturing companies in Wisconsin.

Teel is 72 years old and has an interesting mix of products and capabilities that, on the surface, might appear unrelated. What other company makes both natural gas pipe and high-quality nasopharyngeal swabs used in COVID-19 test kits?
