Mercury Plastics Receives Excellence in Manufacturing Award From Geauga Growth Partnership

September 25, 2025

Mercury Plastics is honored to have been selected for the Excellence in Manufacturing Award from the Geauga Growth Partnership (GGP) and the Manufacturing Advocacy and Growth Network (MAGNET). The award, presented at GGP’s annual meeting on March 19, 2025, recognizes our longstanding commitment to innovation, quality, and leadership in Northeast Ohio’s manufacturing community.

Six Decades of Manufacturing Expertise

Since 1965, Mercury Plastics has built a reputation for delivering advanced thermoplastic solutions across industries, including appliance, automotive, construction, electrical, faucet, medical, and plumbing. With three state-of-the-art facilities in Middlefield, Ohio, we continue to set benchmarks for precision, reliability, and product performance.

What This Award Represents

This recognition reflects what our clients and partners already know: Mercury Plastics consistently combines innovation, precision, and continuous improvement in every project. As part of Masco Corporation since 2017, we offer the responsiveness of a specialized manufacturer backed by the resources of a Fortune 500 company.

Technology and Capabilities That Set Us Apart

Our capabilities span custom profile extrusion, injection overmolding, fabrication, and irradiation cross-linking, enabling us to deliver complete, multi-step solutions from concept through production.

A key differentiator is our in-house electron beam processing technology. Operating one of the most advanced facilities in North America, with both 10MeV and 5MeV accelerators, we enhance material properties to deliver:

  • Heat resistance for high-temperature applications
  • Stress crack resistance for demanding environments
  • Abrasion resistance for extended durability

These capabilities make us a trusted partner for applications where performance cannot be compromised.

Driving Innovation Through Collaboration

Our Innovation Center enables close collaboration between Mercury Plastics engineers and client teams. With advanced prototyping and testing equipment, we streamline the development process, ensuring solutions are optimized for both performance and manufacturability. Combined with ISO 9001 certification and a comprehensive quality laboratory, our clients benefit from a full pathway from concept validation to large-scale production.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

Mercury Plastics remains committed to environmentally responsible manufacturing. Our PFAS-free processes, waste-reduction initiatives, and energy-efficient operations demonstrate our leadership in sustainable practices. We work with clients to align material selection and manufacturing approaches with their own environmental goals.

Community and Workforce Development

Beyond manufacturing excellence, we are dedicated to workforce training, career advancement, and supporting local education and community initiatives. These efforts not only strengthen our team but also contribute to the long-term economic growth of Geauga County and the broader region.

Overcome Challenges and Improve Performance with Mercury Plastics

As President Jay Burnett noted, “Our ongoing partnership with GGP reflects our culture at Mercury Plastics: continually developing opportunities for employees, clients, and the community we proudly represent”.

This recognition underscores our mission to deliver innovation, reliability, and value across industries. We remain committed to helping manufacturers overcome challenges and improve performance through advanced thermoplastic solutions.
