MYERS INDUSTRIES REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2004 RESULTS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 21, 2004, Akron, Ohio--Myers Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MYE) today announced that net sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2004 were $185,518,527, an increase of 14 percent from the $163,220,254 reported for the first quarter of 2003 and the highest of any quarter in the Company's history. Net income was $8,856,171, an increase of 23 percent from $7,191,837 last year. Net income per share was $.29, an increase of 21 percent compared with $.24 in the first quarter of 2003.

During the quarter, favorable foreign currency translation increased net sales by $6.7 million or 4 percent and increased net income by $225,000 or $.01 per share. In addition, contributions from recent acquisitions Michigan Rubber Products and WEK Industries, included in the results since March 10, 2004, increased sales by $4.4 million or 3 percent and increased net income by $267,000 or $.01 per share.

Commenting on the Company's results, Stephen E. Myers, chairman and chief executive officer, said, "We benefited during the quarter from an improved economy and from our actions to advance internal growth, margins, and cost controls. These helped to offset higher prices for plastic raw materials, which continued an upward trend."

Business Segment Overview
In the manufacturing segment, sales increased 13 percent compared to the first quarter of 2003, continuing the positive movement that started in the previous quarter in nearly all of the Company's major markets.

Sales in the distribution segment increased 18 percent compared to the first quarter of 2003. Growth came from increased sales to the auto dealer market, as well as tire dealers' and other customers' increased spending for equipment and supplies.
