General Info

R. A. Jones & Company is one of the world's largest suppliers of packaging machinery--from packaging billions of cans of beer per year to millions of boxes of cereal or pharmaceutical products. Jones equipment is covered by technicians available for preventative maintenance, auditing, and overhauling equipment; installing new equipment, conversions, updates; and training personnel to operate and maintain. The company began in 1905 as a manufacturer of a novelty item called 'advertising soap.' The success of the soap business led the company to develop a machine in 1912 that would mechanically carton bars of soap, resulting in a 10-fold increase in productivity and a new business model.
