Industries,

Inc.

Exhibit 99.2

Statements in this presentation concerning the Company’s goals, strategies, and expectations for business

and financial results may be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities

Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are based on current indicators and expectations.  Whenever you read a

statement that is not simply a statement of historical fact (such as when we describe what we "believe,"

"expect," or "anticipate" will occur, and other similar statements), you must remember that our expectations

may

not

be

correct,

even

though

we

believe

they

are

reasonable.

We

do

not

guarantee

that

the

transactions

and

events

described

will

happen

as

described

(or

that

they

will

happen

at

all).

You

should

review

this

presentation with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from what we

expect.  Many of the factors that will determine these results are beyond our ability to control or predict.  You

are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statement.  We do not intend, and undertake

no obligation, to update these forward-looking statements. These statements involve a number of risks and

uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the

applicable statements.  Such risks include:

(1) Fluctuations in product demand and market acceptance

(2) Uncertainties associated with the general economic conditions in domestic and international markets

(3) Increased competition in our markets

(4) Changes in seasonality

(5) Difficulties

in

manufacturing

operations,

such

as

production

outages

or

maintenance

programs

(6) Raw material availability

(7) Fluctuations

in

raw

material

costs;

fluctuations

outside

the

“normal”

range

of

industry

cycles

(8) Changes in laws and regulations and approvals and decisions of courts, regulators, and

governmental bodies

Myers Industries, Inc. encourages investors to learn more about these risk factors. A detailed

explanation of these factors is available in the Company’s publicly filed quarterly and annual reports,

which

can

Outlook

Strong start and consistent execution of strategic principles

should lead to solid performance in 2012

Timing of food processing and agricultural orders may shift

demand to the second half of the year in Material Handling

Beginning in Q2, favorable weather should strengthen the

market in Lawn & Garden

Anticipate combating continued headwinds in Distribution

due to higher fuel prices which drive down miles driven and

replacement tire sales

Continued strength in the marine market as boat builders

switch to our EPA approved fuel tank in Engineered Products

Return to more normal demand in transplant auto and

custom markets in Engineered Products by the end of Q2
