The Bemis Manufacturing Company is based in Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin and is best known for its toilet seat products. Bemis also manufactures suction canisters, sharps containers, gas caps, gauges, fluid management systems, and various contracted plastic parts from extrusion and injection moulding for companies such as John Deere and Whirlpool Corporation . The company also manufactures moulded wood fibre based balls, which is commonly used in midway style arcade games, including Skee Ball . The company is a pioneer of coinjection moulding, a process in which virgin resin is injected with scrap plastic. Bemis' plastic work has won a number of awards in the SPI Structural Plastics Div. design competition, particularly with the John Deere 7000 tractor, which is believed to represent the first instance of coinjection moulding "to large parts where a recycled engineering material (ABS) is used in the core".
