Making plastic cling is this company's thing. AEP Industries manufactures plastic packaging films -- more than 15,000 types -- including stretch wrap for industrial pallets, packaging for foods and beverages, and films for agricultural uses, such as wrap for hay bales. AEP also makes dispenser-boxed plastic wraps, which are sold to consumers as well as institutions ranging from schools to hospitals. Other industries courted by AEP are packaging, transportation, food, autos, chemicals, textiles, and electronics. The company operates in the US and in Canada. In the summer of 2016, AEP agreed to be acquired by rival Berry Plastics Group.
