Northeast Ohio is a robust blend of 7,000 manufacturing facilities, corporate headquarters and influential service industries. Based on its title as capital of the tire industry for nearly a century, Northeast Ohio was perhaps best known as the place where the rubber meets the road. Today, it's better known as "Polymer Valley," because ideas for new plastic products spark from the research centers of the nation's tire makers. Ohio leads the nation in production of plastics and in polymer research. Today over 400 polymer and plastics companies employ over 30,000 people in the region. Three of the nation's best known polymer research centers --- the University of Akron, Case Western Reserve and Kent State University -- support those operations.
