Commitment to quality

ASW's transloading, packaging, and warehousing services are certified as meeting ISO 9001:2015 quality management standards. Our well-maintained silos are regularly checked and cleaned to remove angel hair/stringers, streamers, and fines so that they do not end up in packaged material.

We have a demonstrated commitment to continuous improvement in every phase of chemical storage, handling, transportation, and disposal.

Additionally, as members of Operation Clean Sweep®, we take care to follow procedures to prevent resin spills and to ensure that in our transloading and packaging processes, plastics do not enter local waterways.

A geographic advantage

Our location within 1 day's drive of more than 70% of the plastics supply chain, enables us to transport resin efficiently and quickly across the U.S. and into Canada. The resin we transload by rail is transported on the largest regional railroad in Ohio that: has hundreds of miles of track throughout the state and into Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia; direct connections to three Class I railroads; and an interchange with over a dozen Class II and Class III railroads.

Trucks transporting our packaged resin have convenient and quick access to a major transportation network: under 2-mile drive to Interstate 76; under 20-mile drive to the Akron-Canton Airport; 50-mile drive to the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and the Port of Cleveland; and 150-mile drive to the Port of Toledo.
