Operations Managers

| Each of Myers Industries' four
business segments (or "Groups") formed in 2005 is headed by a Managing Director reporting to
the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. These managers, working with the CEO, are
responsible for developing the strategy for each segment and its business units (Product Brands), as well as identifying and implementing the
synergies for capabilities, products, customers, and markets within each segment and
across segments. This approach is designed to provide customers with greater value in
products and services, best utilize the resources of the Company, and drive new
opportunities for Myers' growth. |
