Throughout our history, we've made a lot of unique products and a lot of large products. To do that, we need unique and large molds.

That's been possible thanks to the good people at Woodward Industries -- https://www.woodwardind.com/ -- who make our molds in Tonawanda, just minutes away from our factory.

Last week, Dan Woodward's career and impact were celebrated with a retirement party hosted by his family. Dan is leaving the business in great hands as his kids and coworkers will keep the Woodward family's American Dream vibrant, a dream that has been in operation since 1953!

It is a well-deserved retirement -- Dan worked his tail off, provided leadership and nurturing, and created a lasting legacy.

We thank him for all the possibilities that he helped us turn into realities.

Do gas prices, travel costs, and more having you thinking of a staycation instead of a vacation? Is your backyard -- or your "back 40" -- getting your time and money this year?

If so, consider our Leisure Accents bench kit!

This easy-to-assemble DIY kit lets you build a completely custom bench using standard 2x4 lumber — simply cut five 2x4s to your preferred length (anywhere from 24" to 72") and secure them to the sturdy resin bench ends using 4" stainless steel screws (2x4s and screws not included).

The heavy-duty resin construction is weather-resistant, UV-protected, and maintenance-free — no painting, sanding, or rotting. Whether you’re creating a small entryway bench or a long patio seat, this kit gives you the freedom to choose your size, color, and finish.

These bench ends are available in 3 colors -- black, green, and blue!

Why blue of all colors? So you can paint your 2x4s red and white to show your colors for your favorite country for her 250th birthday and beyond.

By the way, that country...that's where these were proudly made!

What do we manufacture at Confer Plastics?

Smiles.

90% of our revenues come from products that put people in or on water, whether it's in its liquid state or frozen.

The things we make -- be they Confer-branded or custom items -- allow families to get outdoors together and enjoy pools, spas, lakes, ice, and sledding hills.

How cool is that!

We are only 4 weeks away from the always fun and always impactful Confer Classic Golf Tournament. On Wednesday, June 24th, 2026 we will be holding this annual event at Willowbrook Golf Course & Restaurant.

All proceeds benefit Scouting America. The local scout council – Great Falls Council, Scouting America – serves 5,300 cub scouts, scouts, and explorers across 14 counties of Western NY, Central NY, and Northern PA. Its camping properties are Camp Sam Wood, Camp Scouthaven, and Camp Gorton.

This year, the Classic's profits are earmarked for purchasing program supplies and equipment to enhance all of the camps with emphases on technology (video production merit badge, internet expansion), safety (communication and fire systems), and general programming (aquatics, shooting sports, and outdoor skills in particular).

Registration forms can be found here:

May is National Water Safety Month.

Water safety is essential to our products. We want families to have nothing but positive memories with their swimming pools so we've designed our ladders and steps with safety in mind.

Our Pool Entry System and Step-1 step feature a self-closing, self-latching gate that can be locked shut.

Our 7200 and 9300 have the patented RollGuard which encloses the treads when no one is around to watch the pool.

The 7000 and 7100 ladders can have their outer sections lifted up and then locked with the supplied padlock.

Our 6000, 7000, and 7100 series ladders have an anti-entrapment barrier which prevents kids from swimming behind or through the treads.

And, every one of our ladders and steps gets a copy of the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance's "Children Aren't Waterproof", which we believe should be required reading for everyone who owns a swimming pool.

Be safe and have a memorable summer!

Confer Plastics is closed Monday, May 25th in observance of Memorial Day. Enjoy the long weekend -- the unofficial start to summer -- with family and friends. And, PLEASE also remember the reason for the holiday and take some time on Monday to reflect on the sacrifices of those who gave all for every one of us.

On May 9th of 1967 our founder Ray Confer and his business partner at AirMold, Pete Schurman, received the patent (which they would later sell off) for their invention -- the living hinge -- which became a widely used application in the plastics industry.

Prior to their idea, blow molded storage containers/boxes were molded in two separate halves and assembled together using a metal hinge. Their invention eliminated the need for the extra parts, assembly time, and costs by compression molding a hinge between the halves so it was actually a part of the container itself.

It was a simple, yet effective, development...and a popular one, too, with manufacturers. You can see the living hinge everywhere in your day-to-day life -- BILLIONS of blow molded containers, tool boxes, and tackle boxes using it have been made by manufacturers around the world.

We had a great time today with Mark Zupan. Doug was so excited that the president of his alma mater -- Alfred University (class of '72) -- took the time to visit us. We admire Mark's leadership and collaboration at AU and in the community. AU was instrumental in helping make Doug who he is, and in turn, what Confer Plastics is...the foundation builders of our lives (such as educators) have multi-generational impact.
