Confer Plastics

Confer Plastics, Inc. is a specialist in large-part blow molding. The company was founded in 1973 by Ray and Doug Confer and over the years it has been instrumental in inventing and producing many widely-known products and functional components…from Ray Confer’s living hinge that is used on tool cases, tackle boxes and takeout containers…to Doug Confer’s flexible fuel funnel found in garages around the world…to Confer-branded swimming pool ladders and steps.

The business is organized into two groups, one focusing on custom manufactured products, and the other specializing in our line of outdoor leisure products.

HOME LEISURE PRODUCTS: Confer Plastics, Inc. manufactures a wide variety of Confer-branded products for home leisure needs. For over four decades now we’ve been manufacturing all-plastic ladders and entry systems for swimming pools. In the 1990s we entered the spa market, to which we offer spa steps, spa pads and cabinets for hot tubs. Confer Plastics is a respected, innovative, and high-quality source for products that accent your home leisure experience.

CUSTOM BLOW MOLDING: Whether you need single a component part or an entire product assembly, Confer can assist interested businesses in the design, prototyping and production of their products. We produce parts in a variety of sizes ranging from one-half pound to more than 100 pounds. We also provide extensive packaging, inventory storage, order entry and drop shipment programs. Custom molded products that we produce include kayaks, docks, and mannequins. Be it a consumer good, an industrial product, or a defense item, we can make it for you!

The company owns two facilities – a factory in North Tonawanda and a distribution center in Niagara Falls. The main plant operates 24 hours a day, 6 days a week (5 days in the summer) and employs 250 people.
