Bemis Manufacturing Company
Founded in 1901 as a maker of furniture and wooden wagons, Bemis Manufacturing Company has grown to an international enterprise with manufacturing/ warehousing facilities in countries across the globe. The company's roots are in woodworking, and its founders brought skilled craftsmanship and innovation to early product lines that included toilet seats, wooden novelty furniture, woven fiber furniture, children's coaster wagons, bowling pins, croquet balls and baseball bats. Named after Wisconsin businessman Albert Bemis and his descendants, the privately-held Bemis Manufacturing Company is a leading plastics molder and extruder that brings higher standards to the products it produces for markets worldwide.

Bemis Manufacturing Company is now a major North American molder and extruder of diverse captive and custom plastic products, using engineering-grade thermoplastics and commodity resins. As a proprietary molder, Bemis is the world's largest manufacturer of toilet seats. As a custom molder, Bemis is among North America's top non-automotive producers of contract plastic injection-molded, profile-extruded, and compression-molded components. The company serves a host of Fortune 500 firms in consumer and industrial markets throughout North, Central and South America, and globally in Europe, Africa and the Far East.
