Ohio Plastics Manufacturer Strengthens Operations with Glo Fiber Business DIA | Glo Fiber Business

Glo Fiber Business Win, September 12, 2025: An Ohio-based high-tech plastics processing company has expanded its existing partnership with Glo Fiber Business, connecting a second facility with Dedicated Internet Access (DIA). With five facilities across Ohio and Tennessee and customers around the world, the company requires connectivity that is every bit as precise and dependable as its advanced production processes. 


As a vertically integrated processor, the manufacturer controls all aspects of production, from raw materials to prototyping and finished products. That integrated approach ensures consistent quality, but it also creates constant demands for data exchange between facilities, supply chain partners, and global customers. Reliable, low-latency connectivity is not just convenient, it is essential to the company’s ability to keep operations running smoothly.


Recently, with business increasing at all locations, the company began experiencing network connectivity issues at one of its Ohio plants. Employees noticed fluctuating speeds during peak hours, file transfers taking longer than usual, and periodic interruptions in service. The problem was the publicly shared internet connection from the incumbent national service provider. Such shared connections often slow down, or drop out completely, when local data traffic spikes.


With the need to get the facility back up to speed, company managers called Glo Fiber Business, which currently provides superb network performance and customer support for the company’s main facility. After a brief meeting, the managers and Glo Fiber Business sales representative agreed that a 200 Mbps DIA circuit would be the best solution.


As an all-fiber private connection, DIA guarantees fast, stable and symmetrical data speeds, regardless of area network traffic. It also provides a more secure connection, ensuring sensitive customer information remains locked down. With local sales and technical support and 24/7/365 network monitoring from Glo Fiber Business’s network operations center, facility managers know they’re getting the best performance and carrier-grade reliability. 


“In fast-moving manufacturing, every moment counts, and networks must perform without compromise,”
said Glenn Lyttle, SVP of Commercial Sales for Glo Fiber Business. “We’re proud this customer chose to expand with us to another facility. With DIA, they have reliable, high-speed connectivity to keep operations seamless today and the flexibility to scale as their business grows.”
