CONFER PLASTICS TURNS 37 TODAY

Confer Plastics, Inc. celebrates its 37th anniversary on January 22nd.

Confer Plastics was founded in 1973 by the late Ray Confer and his son Doug. The company invented the first plastic swimming pool ladder back in the 70’s. The company continues to manufacture pool ladders and steps and, about 10 years ago, Confer Plastics delved into the spa industry, manufacturing a line of spa steps, spa pads, gazebos, and patio furniture.

Confer Plastics also manufactures custom OEM goods, ranging from items as small as toner bottles to as large as kayaks. The company employs over140 people in its two facilities in the Niagara Falls, NY area.

Bob Confer, the third-generation vice-president of Confer Plastics, says, "37 years is a remarkable achievement, especially in the down economy that has plagued the world for two years now. What makes it even more special is the fact that we’re still making everything right here in the US. All this success couldn’t be achieved were it not for some really great customers and coworkers."
