You've just invented the "next great product" and it's slicker than a greased flag pole in July. You're impressed, your family's impressed, even your friends are telling you it's a sure thing. You've got it made in the shade, right? Well, not exactly. It's a long, long road from the drawing board to the shelves of the local store. Fortunately, Phil Nye, President of Advanced Plastics in Wadsworth, can help shorten that road for you. Advanced Plastics was founded on September 15, 1999 when Phil and his partner became the owners of the business formerly known as Almetco. We toured the plant recently and listened as Phil described Advanced Plastics' services and offerings;

One of the many products we've helped bring to market is DuraStripe by ERGOMAT®. DuraStripe, an economical new aisle striping systems that is applied like tape and outlasts any other commonly used system. It installs quickly and easily, eliminates the downtime associated with stripe painting, and provides a scuff resistant surface requiring little or no maintenance. In addition to manufacturing the product, we also provided the inventor of DuraStripe with design support and the recommendation for the material that gives DuraStripe its unique qualities.
