Celebrating 110 Years of Excellence with NJM Packaging

>> A Century-Plus Legacy

110 Years of Excellence110 Years of Excellence

Founded in 1915 (originally as New Jersey Machine Corporation) in Hoboken, New Jersey, NJM began its journey during a time when the trans-Atlantic shipping blockade limited the import of European box-and-gluing machinery. Today, the value that NJM provides to customers looks very different…

What Has Defined NJM’s Success
  • Innovation in equipment manufacturing – We have evolved from gluing boxes to highly automated labelers and full-line packaging systems for the pharma industry.
  • Line-integration capability – Moving from stand-alone machines to turnkey systems for solid dose, liquid, and personal-care lines. 
  • Exceptional service & support – Strong after-sales support, validation documentation, and service programs for customers in regulated industries. 
Relevance in Today’s Packaging Landscape
In an era when packaging is as much about compliance, traceability and speed as it is about a package, NJM stands out:
With the rise of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical packaging demands, NJM is a one-stop solution provider. NJM integrates labelers, cappers, tablet counters and full lines—not simply selling machines but complete systems. 
They leverage their long heritage to gain reliability and trust—important when customers in regulated industries demand uptime, validation and support.
Reflections on 110 Years: Why It Matters
Longevity equals credibility: Surviving and thriving across multiple market shifts (from early paper-box machinery, through pharmaceuticals, personal care, to integrated systems) is rare.
Adaptation is key: NJM didn’t stay static. They expanded product lines, merged, rebranded, integrated new technologies.
From niche to full-line: Starting with labeling and glue systems, then evolving into full packaging lines. That shift matters for large customers seeking a single supplier.
Focused on the customer experience: Not just machines, but design, build, installation, service, spare parts, validation—all make a difference in packaging operations.
Looking Forward: What’s Next?
At 110 years, NJM is well-positioned to continue.
Celebrating 110 years isn’t just a number—it’s a testimony to staying relevant, evolving with technology, and maintaining a focus on delivering value to customers. NJM Packaging’s journey from early gluing machines to modern turnkey pharmaceutical packaging lines demonstrates how longevity in manufacturing comes from continuous renewal.
