JACO MANUFACTURING COMPANY HAS A 50-YEAR HISTORY OF INNOVATION AND QUALITY PRODUCTIONJACO's founder, Art Jacobs, started the company in 1949 when plastics were just starting to gain popularity in the United States. As the business began to grow, it became evident that additional production capabilities would be needed to keep up with demand. It was then JACO built its first injection molding machine, the Twinjector, to satisfy the company's growing needs. Then, in 1954, N.A.S.A. contacted JACO to design and manufacture a component for a plastic manifold system. It was this request that lead to the patented invention of our one-piece compression nut and the development of the compression tube fitting line. The Next Growth PhaseBy the end of 1966, the company had moved into a brand-new facility at its present location, 468 Geiger Street and employed 60 people. The three-shift operation turned out millions of plastic components each year, products which were specialty ordered by companies engaged in all types of business, from chemicals, to aircraft production, to plumbing and automotive. The company had now achieved a reputation as having the technical ability and manufacturing capability to handle tough jobs, blending state of the art custom molding capabilities, a successful proprietary fitting line as well as a line of injection molding machines. In 1978, Art Jacobs retired and sold the company to Irv Davies, President of JACO Sales Corporation Fittings Division, and L. Claire Campbell, Vice President/General Manager, JACO Manufacturing Company. Irv Davies retired in 1987 and sold his interest to L. Claire Campbell. JACO continued to flourish doubling in size as operations were expanded and modernized. Claire Campbell retired in 1996. Today, the company employs 135 people in its two-facility, three-shift operation, and continues to be a closely held corporation. Quality MilestonesIn 1997 JACO achieved QS-9000, 1995 and ISO 9002, 1994 certification for its Custom Molding Division. In 2006, JACO was certified to ISO/TS 16949:2002 and ISO 9001:2000 (without design), a significant milestone that represents an ongoing commitment to ensure high quality standards. Having reached its 50th year, JACO is as strong as ever, practicing many of the same business philosophies of its founding fathers. Working hard, and working together with a shared vision that focuses on our customers' needs and expectations is what JACO is all about.
