Aakron Rule was incorporated in New York State in January of 1967. Our first products included school rulers, office rulers, and yardsticks. In 1968, we entered the Promotional Products Industry. Today Aakron Rule is the largest manufacturer of wooden rulers and yardsticks in the world. Our product line has grown to include over 130 different items. We have won several Supplier Star and Merit Awards from the Promotional Products Industry. Our main manufacturing facility, which employs over 140 people, is located in Akron, New York. In our lumberyard, we have over one million board feet of inventory on hand at all times. Aakron Rule manufactures wood products, injection molds many plastic items, and imprints on a wide range of promotional products. In Akron, we have our own machine shop where we build and design most of our own machinery. Automation is the key to our future. We also have approximately 100 employees at our Bakewell, Tennessee location. Between the two locations we have over 135 thousand square feet of manufacturing space.

Do all of their products contain lead?

Do all of their products contain lead?

I called Aakron to ask them about the materials in one of their pencils. My employer ordered the pencils for me to hand out to my students. I told the customer service person this and I explained that the box says lead pencils on it. So I was concerned that it actually meant that the pencils contained lead. Aakron website only provides general information about the CA prop 65 labeling requirements and no specific information about any of the products that require this labeling. The response I got was less than helpful. I was told that they don’t deal with the end user and that I should contact the distributor I ordered the pencils from in order to get that information. I was disappointed at the lack of concern the company showed and I am not optimistic that they will provide the information to my distributor either. I will be making efforts to require that this and other company disclose materials information relevant to health and human safety.
