About Akro-Mils
Akro-Mils makes plastic and metal storage bins, drawer cabinets, totes and carts, mostly in Ohio. It was founded in Akron in 1946 and is part of Myers Industries.
Founded by the Myers brothers in Akron
Louis and Isidore Myers founded Akro-Mils in Akron, Ohio, on October 4, 1946. The name joins Akron with the brothers' original surname, Schneiderman. Its first products were steel cabinets with plastic drawers.
The company built its first plant on Waterloo Road in Akron in 1964, moved into its Wadsworth, Ohio, plant in 1974, and introduced the AkroBin hanging and stacking bin in 1972. In 2000 it bought RB/Dura Manufacturing, a cart maker in Sandusky, Ohio, and added a powder-coating line there in 2003. Akro-Mils belongs to Myers Industries, also of Akron.
Most, not all, is made in Ohio
The company's FAQ answers the origin question this way: "The vast majority of our products are manufactured in the United States; most of which are made in Ohio." Its About page names the Wadsworth plant as its manufacturing facility, and the site footer carries a made in the USA line.
"Vast majority" leaves room for some items made elsewhere, and Akro-Mils does not say which ones. Its plastic drawer storage cabinets are sold with the line "made in the U.S.A." For other items, look for an origin line on the box.
