The next featured manufacturing company in the We Manufacture CLE series is headquartered in Mantua, Ohio and exports across North America. Atlantic Water Gardens manufactures unique water features that make hotel, business and home properties and landscapes beautiful.
One of this manufacturer's premier water feature products is Colorfalls, which can be purchased in garden centers all over the state of Ohio, as well as online. They originally opened in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey in 1988 and moved to its current home, here in Northeast Ohio, in 2005.
Turns out about 60% of the US population lives within 600 miles of Ohio, making it an ideal place from which to ship products to every corner of the nation. The infrastructure in Cleveland is strong for plastics and molding manufacturing, so Atlantic Water Garden's opportunity for innovation comes with the ability to source materials locally.
In 2008, Colorfalls was available in four solid colors. Now, 48 different options and 16 patterns are available via remote control! This and a variety of other products are manufactured and distributed right in Northeast Ohio.
The video below showcases Atlantic Water Garden's unique story and talks about the many contributions made to the Cleveland area.
"We have over 200 injection molds, roto molds, and thermoform molds in service here and the majority of them are outsourced into the Cleveland market."
