Stopol Overview
Headquartered in Solon, Ohio, Stopol is the plastics industry leader in providing
solutions for processors’ production needs through its three lines of business - -
Equipment Sales, Auctions & Liquidations, and Business Services (merger and
acquisition consulting, appraisals, equipment financing).
With the industry’s largest diverse inventory of equipment, Stopol allows
manufacturers to add capacity and capabilities quickly and cost effectively. And since
it is the industry’s premier provider of auction and liquidation services, we have
access to the industry’s most sought-after equipment at prices that can’t be beat.
Stopol is known as an industry innovator with the ability to leverage technology to its clients’ benefit – creating a competitive advantage for our customers. Stopol enhanced this reputation in 2004 when it created StopolAuctions L.L.C. and launched an interactive auction Web portal that allows a global audience to buy and sell new and used plastics equipment and other assets using their PCs. Stopol further bolstered its legacy of technology-inspired solutions in 2007 when it created Stopol Parts, L.L.C. and launched its parts Web portal. This new feature on www.stopol.com allows processors to buy OEM-certified replacement parts from just one website – rather than shopping for parts at multiple OEM sites.
In addition to providing the hardware and machinery manufacturers need, Stopol uses its technical expertise, market intelligence and industry reach to deliver solutions through a variety of other services – appraisals, merger and acquisition consulting, comprehensive factory planning and design, parts stock auditing and management, and refurbishments and service.
And where does all this market intelligence and industry reach come from?
Since being founded in 1990, Stopol has fostered a culture in which meticulous note-taking and data mining are a priority, and awareness of market forces and activity are the norm. More than 20 Stopol account executives contact over 30,000 customers every six to eight weeks to not only market and source equipment and machinery but information as well. This has provided Stopol with 18 years of purchasing data and unparalleled market intelligence that we leverage to our customers’ advantage.
With our finger on the pulse of the industry and a keen focus on customer service, Stopol delivers the kind of results that have made it one of the most trusted names in plastics. Employing a big-picture approach to our relationships, Stopol examines the entire situation and devises customized and creative solutions that not only fulfill your immediate need but strongly position you for future opportunities.
