Great Lakes Industrial Knife, founded in 1981 and based in Akron, Ohio, manufactures and sharpens industrial machine knives used in plastics, paper, printing, packaging, and metalworking. The company operates a 50,000-square-foot facility dedicated to both production and regrind services, supported by experienced personnel focused on meeting customer requirements. Its offerings include surface coatings and repair work for knives, with typical turnaround of five days or fewer and rush options when available. The business serves manufacturers that depend on precise cutting tools to keep production lines efficient and uninterrupted.

In May 2022, it was announced that Great Lakes Industrial Knife was acquired by American Cutting Edge, a division of CB Manufacturing & Sales Co., Inc. This development ties the Akron-based supplier to a broader market for machinery blade solutions serving plastics, paper, printing, packaging, and metalworking customers.
