Our Founder's Philosophy

From our humble basement beginnings 77 years ago, we carry Dwight Cope’s ideals with us today. Family is the foundation of our lives. Honesty builds integrity. Loyalty strengthens relationships. Respect must be earned. Freedom should never be taken for granted.

Working Together

Teamwork at all levels. Open and honest communication. Proactive thinking. Continuous improvement. Collaboration, cooperation, synergy. Departments coming together to find solutions. We know that working together to help our customers thrive, everything is achievable. That’s One Cope!

Community Involvement

We believe in supporting organizations that improve our communities. From city beautification initiatives to cancer research, we give time and raise funds to lift those around us. Current and past participation includes: Pride Inc., Susan G. Komen, Friends of Kids With Cancer, Delta Dental, RiverBend Growth Association, United Way, Shoeman Water Project, Toys for Tots, Riverbend CEO, Southern IL Employers Association, Lewis & Clark Community College, and International Association of Plastics Distribution.

Fabrication

Our One Cope team is united in our mission of creating solutions that further your business. When you work with us for custom fabrication projects, we’ll spend time listening to you first so we fully understand what you’re trying to accomplish. Then, we’ll stop at nothing to deliver you the products you need—from pushing the capabilities of our equipment to innovating new techniques in using it.

Materials

Just what you need and just in time are the only two outcomes that really matter when it comes to distribution. We keep our finger on the pulse of a wide variety of industries to ensure that our inventoried materials stay in line with current trends. We want to be the partner you can always trust to help you in a plastics emergency!

Recycling

We’ve been around for over 70 years, and we want to be around for at least 70 more...and there needs to be a planet still here to make that happen. We also have a responsibility to the communities we serve to minimize our environmental impact. We established our recycling program to help you further your sustainability efforts through an easily accessible, viable channel to ensure your materials are recycled.

"This pandemic has forced us to use technology a lot more than before (zoom, teams, etc). It also taught me to make sure to take care of my team, as well as my own mental health."

Alicia Stalcup, Business Development Sales Manager

"The Purchasing department is filled with some of the most genuine humans I've ever known. Erin is at the head of that, and leads by the example of hard work and honesty in all situations. We're an "all hands on deck" department and there's not really a day that goes by where we're not picking each other up. Love this crew."

Jamie Brazel, Buyer II - Purchasing

"One thing I learned quickly - if you help people solve a problem, you rise to the top of their call list. One of the statements Dwight Cope had on the front of the Cope Catalog was "If We Don't Have It - We'll Help You Find It"."
