Step2 acquires Infantino

American supplier Step2, the world’s largest rotational molding manufacturer, designer and marketer of children’s and home products, has acquired nursery company Infantino.

Infantino’s ranges include baby and infant products such as baby toys, travel systems, puzzles and activity toys.

Scott Levin, Step2 president and CEO, announced: “Step2 is excited to combine creative teams and resources with Infantino. There are tremendous synergies in shared entrepreneurial cultures, family values and customer focus. Both companies are committed to creating safe and innovative products that promote imaginative play and healthy fun, allowing ‘Babies to be Babies’ and ‘Kids to be Kids’.

Step2 and Infantino will operate as separate business units, but combine resources to create a natural extension of complementary lines to the pre-school category, and to safeguard the high quality standards of each product. In addition, cross merchandising and marketing opportunities for the expanded product lines will create earlier exposure in a child’s life cycle for the Step2 brand than was previously possible. Both brands build off the belief of developmental play as a cornerstone for early childhood education and growth.

Step2, is based in Streetsboro, Ohio, Its ranges include outdoor toys, playhouses, play kitchens, sand and water play, ride on toys, swing sets, wagons and kid’s furniture; as well as mailboxes, home & garden outdoor furniture and trash
cans.

Prevent Rotomolded Plastic Water Tank Breakage using Air Vents

Many Rotomolders experience cracking or breakage of Plastic
Rotomolded Tanks at installed sites, mainly Large Tanks with
Airtight threaded lids.


The reason being, there is Air inside the Tanks, and when
the Tank is filled with Water, this Air looks for escape route.
If it does not find the escape route, the Tank becomes highly
pressured, just like a pressure vessel. if the body of the Tank
is weak, it becomes bloated. It also puts pressure on weak
parts of the Tank, which, against constant pressure and
pressure release (when the water is taken out of the Tank)
becomes prone to Cracks.

To avoid all these, put a simple Plastic Air Vent on the tank.
When the Tank is filled with Water, the Air is released
through it and when the the tank is emptied, the Air is
sucked in through it, Simple. Hope this helps.
