Myers Industries makes plastic and rubber products used in everyday industries. Its main products include plastic storage containers, fuel tanks, and specialty packaging for agriculture, automotive, and industrial customers. The company also runs a distribution business that sells repair products for tires and wheels.

Myers earns money by selling these manufactured goods directly to businesses, not to regular consumers. It operates mostly in the United States, with some international sales, and generates roughly $800 million in annual revenue. The company has built a modest competitive position through its niche focus on durable polymer products and its distribution network, which is harder for new competitors to replicate quickly. The key risk Myers faces is that its sales are tied to industrial and agricultural activity, meaning a slowdown in those sectors can quickly reduce demand for its products.
