Myers Industries Inc Dossier
Qualitative Analysis
Business overview
Myers Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MYE) is a leading diversified industrial manufacturer of sustainable polymer products, specializing in plastic and metal solutions that protect, store, and move goods. Founded in 1933 and headquartered in Akron, Ohio, the company serves a wide range of end markets, including Consumer, Vehicle, Food & Beverage, Industrial, and Infrastructure. Historically operating through two segments—Material Handling and Distribution—Myers is undergoing a significant portfolio simplification. In late 2025, the company announced its decision to divest Myers Tire Supply (MTS), its legacy tire service distribution business, to focus entirely on its core, higher-margin plastics manufacturing operations. Following this reclassification of MTS as discontinued operations, Myers now reports its financial results as a single operating segment.
