Laird Plastics Akron warehouse and showroom facility in Stow, Ohio

Northeast Ohio's Premier Plastics Distributor

Akron and Summit County have long been a hub for polymer innovation. The Greater Akron region has been the center of the world's polymer industry—rubber and plastics—for decades, and Northeast Ohio hosts the largest concentration of plastic and rubber plants in North America. More than half of U.S. plastics consumption occurs within 500 miles of Northeast Ohio, making our Stow location ideally positioned to serve this thriving manufacturing corridor.

Summit County's advanced-manufacturing cluster includes fabricated metals, plastics, rubber, chemicals, and machinery. With 70% of North America's light-vehicle assembly occurring within 500 miles of the county, this manufacturing density and proximity to automotive and aerospace manufacturers create strong demand for plastics, composites, and fabrication services. From our Stow facility, we serve customers across Northeast Ohio—including Akron, Stow, Cuyahoga Falls, Tallmadge, Kent, Hudson, and the greater Cleveland area—as well as western Pennsylvania.
