Jomar Corporation, the leading global manufacturer of injection blow molding (IBM) machinery, has acquired the assets of a local mold making company, enabling the in-house offering of mold and packaging designs, mold creation, and total turnkey solutions for its injection blow molding machinery. The company has set aside a portion of its 50,000 square feet of manufacturing space at its US headquarters in Pleasantville, NJ to be dedicated to mold design, development, and production.
“We are very excited to have received board approval for this acquisition and expansion“ notes Carlos Castro, President of Jomar. “As part of the Indel diversified group, Jomar benefits from being able to respond quickly to market opportunities like this one when they appear. We became aware of the availability of these mold making assets and were able to quickly structure an offer. Jomar has long offered tooling and turnkey services, but in the past those have involved partnering with proven subcontractors, which we will continue to do. But going forward, we will have these capabilities in-house and will now be able to offer them to customers at significantly lower pricing.”
This means process engineers will be involved at every stage of the development process. Benefits include: fully approved production ready tooling; mold development in our R&D center, on dedicated test machines by highly trained design and process personnel; verification and inspection to the approved product drawing; mold development will use resins supplied from the customer’s area; and steel certification on request. Jomar’s turnkey service includes project validation, tool design, tool manufacturing, testing, quality control and commissioning in the customers’ facility, as well as training in Jomar classrooms or on-site education.
Jomar is the world’s leading manufacturer of injection blow molding machinery for the pharmaceutical, health care, personal care, beauty, food, beverage and household products markets. Some of the world’s most recognized brands such as Gerber’s, Crayola, Merck, P&G Unilever, Avon, Gerresheimer Group and Goya have chosen Jomar to handle their packaging needs. More than half of the injection blow mold machines in use throughout the world today were built by Jomar. For customers requiring extrusion blow molding machinery, Jomar is also the exclusive North American distributor for Automa by Magic continuous extrusion and accumulator head EBM models.
