PART I


ITEM 1. BUSINESS

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Tredegar Industries, Inc. ("Tredegar") is engaged directly or through
subsidiaries in plastics, metal products and technology businesses (primarily
rational drug design research and software).

During July and August of 1995, Tredegar announced that it was
exploring the sale of Tredegar Molded Products Company and its subsidiaries
("Molded Products") and Brudi, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Brudi"). Molded
Products and Brudi are reported as a part of continuing operations in the
Plastics and Metal Products segments, respectively. These divestitures could be
completed in the first half of 1996. Information on the net sales, operating
profit, identifiable assets, depreciation and amortization, and capital
expenditures of Molded Products and Brudi are provided on pages 22-24 and pages
42-43 of the Annual Report.

The following discussion of Tredegar's business segments should be read
in conjunction with the information contained on pages 22-24, 26-32 and 34 of
the Annual Report referred to in Item 7 below.

PLASTICS

The Plastics segment is composed of the Film Products division ("Film
Products"), Molded Products and Fiberlux, Inc. ("Fiberlux"). Film Products and
Molded Products manufacture a wide range of products including specialty films,
injection-molded products and custom injection molds. Broad application for
these products is found in films for packaging, medical, industrial,
agricultural and disposable personal hygiene products, and in molded products
for industrial, household, personal-care, medical and electronics products.
Fiberlux produces vinyl extrusions, windows and patio doors. These products are
produced at various locations throughout the United States and are sold both
directly and through distributors. Tredegar also has films plants located in the
Netherlands, Brazil and Argentina, where it produces films primarily for the
European and Latin American markets, respectively. The Plastics segment competes
in all of its markets on the basis of the quality and prices of its products and
its service.


Film Products

Film Products produces films for two major market categories:
disposables and industrial.

Disposables. Film Products is one of the largest U.S. suppliers of embossed and
permeable films for disposable personal products. In each of the last three
years, this class of products accounted for more than 30% of the consolidated
revenues of Tredegar.







Film Products supplies embossed films and nonwoven film laminates
(cloth-like) to domestic and international manufacturers for use as backsheet in
disposable products such as baby diapers, adult incontinent products, feminine
hygiene products and hospital underpads. Film Products' primary customer for
embossed films and nonwoven film laminates for backsheet is The Procter & Gamble
Company ("P&G"), the leading global disposable diaper manufacturer. Film
Products also sells embossed films to several producers of private label
products. Film Products competes with several foreign and domestic film products
manufacturers in the backsheet market.

Film Products also supplies permeable films to P&G for use as liners in
feminine hygiene products, adult incontinent products and hospital underpads.
The processes used in manufacturing these films were developed jointly by Film
Products and P&G and are covered by applicable patents held by P&G and Tredegar.
Film Products also sells significant amounts of permeable films to international
affiliates of P&G.

P&G also purchases molded plastic products from Molded Products. P&G
and Tredegar have had a successful, long-term relationship based on cooperation,
product innovation and continuous process improvement. The loss or significant
reduction of business associated with P&G would have a material adverse effect
on Tredegar's business.

Industrial. Film Products produces a line of oriented films for food packaging
and other applications under the name Monax(R) Plus. These are high strength,
high moisture barrier films that allow both cost and source reduction
opportunities over current packaging mediums.

Film Products also produces coextruded and monolayer permeable fabrics
under the name of VisPore(R). These fabrics are used to regulate fluid
transmission in many industrial, medical, agricultural and packaging markets.
Specific examples include filter plies for surgical masks and other medical
applications, permeable ground cover, thermal pouches for take-out food, natural
cheese mold release cloths and rubber bale wrap.

Differentially embossed monolayer and coextruded films are also
produced by Film Products. Some of these films are extruded in a Class 10,000
clean room and act as a disposable, protective coversheet for photopolymers used
in the manufacture of circuit boards. Other films, sold under the name of
ULTRAMASK(R), are used as masking films to protect polycarbonate, acrylics and
glass from damage during fabrication, shipping and handling.

Raw Materials. The primary raw materials for films produced by Film Products are
low-density and linear low-density polyethylene resins, which Film Products
obtains from domestic and foreign suppliers at competitive prices.

Tredegar's management believes that there will be an adequate supply of
polyethylene resins in the immediate future. Changes in resin prices, and the
timing thereof, could have a significant impact on the profit margins of this
division. Resin prices are fairly volatile and are generally followed by a
corresponding change in selling prices.

- 2 -






Research and Development. Film Products has a technical center in Terre Haute,
Indiana. Film Products holds 36 U.S. patents and 14 U.S. trademarks.
Expenditures for research and development have averaged approximately $3.3
million per year during the past three years.


Molded Products

See page 1 regarding the possible divestiture of Molded Products.

Molded Products manufactures five major categories of products:
packaging products, industrial products, parts for medical products, parts for
electronics products and injection-mold tools. Packaging products represent more
than half of Molded Products' business.

Packaging Products. The packaging group produces deodorant canisters, lip balm
sticks, custom jars, plugs, fitments and closures, primarily for toiletries,
cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and personal hygiene markets. Molded Products is one
of the leading U.S. producers of lip balm sticks. Molded Products competes with
various large producers in the packaging market.

Industrial Products. Molded Products produces molded plastic parts for business
machines, media storage products, cameras, appliances and various custom
products. In the business machine area, closer tolerances, made possible by
computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and engineered-grade resins,
have led to expanded high-performance applications. Molded Products works
closely with customers in the design of new industrial products and systems. The
market for such products is very competitive.

Parts for Medical and Electronics Products. Effective July 31, 1993, Molded
Products' subsidiary, Polestar Plastics Manufacturing Company, acquired the
assets of a custom molder of precision parts for the medical and electronics
markets. Products supplied to the medical market include, among others,
disposable plastic parts for laparoscopic surgery instruments, staple guns,
needle protector devices and syringe housings. Products supplied to the
electronics market include, among others, connectors for computer cables and
circuit boards.

Injection-Mold Tools. Molded Products' tooling group produces injection molds
for internal use and for sale to other custom and captive molders. Molded
Products operates one of the largest independent tool shops in the United States
in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Raw Materials. Polypropylene and polyethylene resins are the primary raw
materials used by Molded Products. Molded Products also uses polystyrene resins.
Molded Products purchases those raw materials from domestic suppliers at
competitive prices. Changes in resin prices, and the timing thereof, could have
a significant impact on the profitability of this division. Molded Products'
management believes that there will be an adequate supply of these resins in the
immediate future.


- 3 -





Research and Development. Molded Products owns five U.S. patents and one U.S.
trademarks and has spent an average of less than $100,000 each year for the last
three years for research and development. Molded Products maintains a technical
center as part of its St. Petersburg, Florida, complex.


Fiberlux

Fiberlux is a leading U.S. producer of rigid vinyl extrusions, windows
and patio doors. Fiberlux products are sold to fabricators and directly to end
users. The subsidiary's primary raw material, polyvinyl chloride resin, is
purchased from producers in open market purchases and under contract. No
critical shortages of polyvinyl chloride resins are expected.

Fiberlux holds one U.S. patent and three U.S. trademarks.


METAL PRODUCTS

The Metal Products segment is composed of The William L. Bonnell
Company, Inc. ("Bonnell"), Capitol Products Corporation ("Capitol") and Brudi.
Bonnell and Capitol ("Aluminum Extrusions") produce soft alloy aluminum
extrusions primarily for the building and construction industry, and for
transportation and consumer durables markets. Brudi primarily produces steel
attachments and uprights for the forklift truck market.


Aluminum Extrusions

Aluminum Extrusions manufactures plain, anodized and painted aluminum
extrusions for sale directly to fabricators and distributors that use aluminum
extrusions in the production of curtain walls, moldings, architectural shapes,
running boards, tub and shower doors, boat windshields, window components and
furniture, among other products. Sales are made primarily in the United States,
principally east of the Rocky Mountains. Sales are substantially affected by the
strength of the building and construction industry, which accounts for the
majority of product sales.

Raw materials for Aluminum Extrusions, consisting of aluminum ingot,
aluminum scrap and various alloys, are purchased from domestic and foreign
producers in open-market purchases and under short-term contracts. Profit
margins for products in Aluminum Extrusions are sensitive to fluctuations in
aluminum ingot and scrap prices, which account for a significant portion of
product cost. Aluminum ingot prices are fairly volatile and are generally
followed by a corresponding change in selling prices; however, there is no
assurance that higher ingot costs can be passed along to customers. Tredegar
does not expect critical shortages of aluminum or other required raw materials
and supplies.


- 4 -





Aluminum Extrusions competes primarily based on the quality and prices
of its products and its service with a number of national and regional
manufacturers in the industry.

Aluminum Extrusions holds two U.S. patents and 12 U.S. trademarks.


Brudi

See page 1 regarding the possible divestiture of Brudi.

Headquartered in Ridgefield, Washington, Brudi is the second largest
supplier of uprights and attachments for the forklift truck segment of the
domestic materials handling industry. Brudi markets its products and services,
which include in-house engineering and design capabilities, primarily to dealers
and original equipment manufacturers of forklift trucks. Markets served include
warehousing and distribution, food, fiber, primary metals, pharmaceuticals,
beverage and paper. Brudi products are made primarily from steel, which is
purchased on the open market and under contract from domestic producers.
Tredegar does not foresee critical shortages of steel or other required raw
materials and supplies.

Brudi holds eight U.S. patents and three U.S. trademarks.


TECHNOLOGY

The Technology segment is composed primarily of investments in
high-technology businesses and related research.

Molecumetics, Ltd., a subsidiary of Tredegar ("Molecumetics"),
commenced operation of its rational drug design research laboratory in Seattle,
Washington. Molecumetics provides proprietary chemistry for the synthesis of
small molecule therapeutics and vaccines. Using synthetic chemistry techniques,
researchers can fashion small-molecules that imitate the bioactive portion of
larger and more complex molecules. For customers in the pharmaceutical and
biotechnology industries, these synthetically-produced compounds offer
significant advantages over naturally occurring proteins in fighting diseases
because they are smaller and more easily absorbed in the human body, less
subject to attack by enzymes, more specific in their therapeutic activity, and
faster and less expensive to produce.

In December 1992, Tredegar acquired APPX Software, Inc. ("APPX
Software"), a supplier of flexible software development environments and
business applications software. In the first quarter of 1994, Tredegar wrote off
$9.5 million of goodwill and other intangibles in APPX Software. The write-off
was the result of management's determination that income generated by the
acquired products would not be sufficient to recover the unamortized costs
associated with the intangible software assets purchased. In addition, in the
first quarter of 1995 APPX Software was restructured in an effort to eliminate
its operating losses, which were

- 5 -





$478,000 in the first quarter of 1995 and $4.7 million in 1994. While new
product development activities have been curtailed, APPX Software continues to
sell, maintain and support existing products. In connection with the
restructuring, Tredegar recognized a first-quarter charge of $2.4 million ($1.6
million after income tax benefits). For the post-restructuring period April 1 to
December 31, 1995, APPX Software had an operating profit of $382,000. The market
for software products is very competitive and characterized by short product
life cycles.

Molecumetics holds three U.S. patents and one U.S. trademark.
Molecumetics has filed a number of other patent applications with respect to its
technology. APPX Software owns four U.S. copyrights and holds one U.S.
trademark. Businesses included in the Technology segment spent $5.0 million in
1995, $5.4 million in 1994 and $5.6 million in 1993 for research and
development. Research and development spending declined in 1995 due to lower
spending at APPX Software partially offset by higher spending at Molecumetics.


MISCELLANEOUS

Patents, Licenses and Trademarks. Tredegar considers patents, licenses and
trademarks to be of significance to its Plastics segment and its Molecumetics
and APPX Software subsidiaries. Tredegar routinely applies for patents on
significant patentable developments with respect to all of its businesses.
Patents owned by Tredegar and its subsidiaries have remaining terms ranging from
1 to 16 years. In addition, the Plastics segment and certain of Tredegar's other
subsidiaries have licenses under patents owned by third parties.

Research and Development. During 1995, 1994 and 1993, approximately $8.8
million, $8.3 million and $9.1 million, respectively, was spent on
company-sponsored research and development activities in connection with the
businesses of Tredegar and its subsidiaries. See "Business of
Tredegar - Plastics and Other Businesses."

Backlog. Backlogs are not material to Tredegar.

Government Regulation. Laws concerning the environment that affect or could
affect Tredegar's domestic operations include, among others, the Clean Water
Act, the Clean Air Act, the Resource Conservation Recovery Act, the Occupational
Safety and Health Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Toxic
Substances Control Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), regulations promulgated under these acts, and any
other federal, state or local laws or regulations governing environmental
matters. The operations of Tredegar and its subsidiaries are in substantial
compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and permits. In order to
maintain substantial compliance with such standards, Tredegar may be required to
incur expenditures, the amounts and timing of which are not presently
determinable but which could be significant, in constructing new facilities or
in modifying existing facilities.


- 6 -





From time to time the Environmental Protection Agency may identify
Tredegar or one of its subsidiaries as a potentially responsible party with
respect to a Superfund site under CERCLA. To date, Tredegar, indirectly, is
potentially responsible with respect to three Superfund sites. As a result,
Tredegar may be required to expend amounts on remedial investigations and
actions at such Superfund sites. Responsible parties under CERCLA may be jointly
and severally liable for costs at a site, although typically costs are allocated
among the responsible parties.

In addition, Tredegar, indirectly, is potentially responsible for one
New Jersey Spill Site Act location. Another New Jersey site is being
investigated pursuant to the New Jersey Environmental Cleanup Responsibility
Act.

Employees. Tredegar and its subsidiaries employ approximately 3,300 people.
Tredegar considers its relations with its employees to be good.


ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

GENERAL

Most of the improved real property and the other assets of Tredegar and
its subsidiaries are owned, and none of the owned property is subject to an
encumbrance material to the consolidated operations of Tredegar and its
subsidiaries. Tredegar considers the condition of the plants, warehouses and
other properties and assets owned or leased by Tredegar and its subsidiaries to
be generally good. Additionally, Tredegar considers the geographical
distribution of its plants to be well-suited to satisfying the needs of its
customers.

Tredegar believes that the capacity of its plants to be adequate for
immediate needs of its businesses. Tredegar's plants generally have operated at
70-85 percent of capacity. Tredegar's corporate headquarters offices are located
at 1100 Boulders Parkway, Richmond, Virginia 23225.
