Two plants in northern Ohio
Step2 was founded in 1991 and makes rotationally molded plastic products. In rotational molding, plastic resin is heated inside a mold that turns on two axes, which builds the hollow, thick-walled shells used for play kitchens, wagons, playhouses and sand tables. The company runs two large plants in northern Ohio, one in Streetsboro and one in Perrysville. Trade press reported Step2 adding around 100 workers at its Streetsboro plants during a US expansion.
Read the origin line on each product
Step2's FAQ says the majority of its products are manufactured in the USA, and that it does import some products and components from other countries. It does not say which.
The product pages for the Modern Metro, Elegant Edge and Grand Walk-In kitchens, the Wagon for Two Plus, the Neighborhood and All Around Canopy wagons, and the Dino Dig and Naturally Playful sand tables read "Made in USA of US and imported parts." The molded body is made in Ohio, and smaller accessories may come from abroad.
Some pages, including the Fun With Friends Kitchen and the Rain Showers Splash Pond, print no origin line. For those, check the box or ask Step2 before you buy.
