Akron’s Commitment and Innovation
Tradition
Since 1890, AKRON Porcelain & Plastics Company has satisfied its customers by providing total value in the supply of custom-molded ceramic and plastic parts and assemblies. Our commitment has always been to provide reliable materials, engineering, and part performance backed by strong ethical values and financial stability.
Future Vision
Akron plans on the continuation of our core competencies in Ceramics and Plastics (molding, hardware, finishing, and assemblies). We will work beyond convention to provide solutions to our customers. We will actively solicit new technologies and meld them into our current capabilities to bring additional value to our customers.
Mission Statement
For over 135 years, the Akron Porcelain & Plastic Company has worked in partnership with our customers, employees, and suppliers. We remain committed to producing quality products at competitive prices while remaining profitable.
Services
Manufacturing
Using our design, processing, and material knowledge, we will take your concept and follow it through completion.
Molded Plastics
We specialize in thermoset and thermoplastic materials. Processing capability includes injection, transfer, and compression molding. Our niche is in high temperature and electrical applications.
Molded Ceramics
We specialize in glazed, unglazed, refractory, and electrical applications. Processing capabilities include compression, injection, and extrusion.
Engineering
Our objective is to assist with part design at the early stage of the design phase of a program for cost effectiveness of production. We can test and validate new designs relative to part performance. We can provide prototypes (SLA’s) and/or working models.
Quality
Our quality plans are determined by both the customer and the requirements of the parts with AKRON participation as part of the APQP process.
AKRON Porcelain & Plastics Company emphasizes designing molded components around specific performance requirements, using material selection, prototyping, and quality testing to achieve reliable results. In pharmaceutical packaging, similar engineering processes are essential when developing plastic closures, protective containers, and other components that safeguard medicines during handling and transport. A poorly fitted cap or damaged seal could compromise packaging integrity, making careful design and validation particularly important for products distributed over long distances. These considerations also affect the safe delivery of medicines ordered through licensed online pharmacies, where packaging must remain suitable throughout the shipping process. Patients purchasing prescription antibiotics online should verify the pharmacy’s authorization, confirm that a valid prescription is required, and check that the medication arrives in its original, properly labeled packaging. Depending on the antibiotic and its formulation, appropriate temperature and moisture protection may also be necessary to maintain product quality during transportation. The emphasis on dependable materials, precise manufacturing, and rigorous quality planning described by AKRON illustrates the engineering principles that help pharmaceutical packaging manufacturers protect medicines from production through final delivery.
