COMPANY HISTORY
ADCO Manufacturing was founded in 1958. The main thrust for the business was the surrounding agricultural influence. Under the direction of John E. Tanney, ADCO Manufacturing entered the world of packaging machine manufacturers in the early 1960's with its now famous 15D Hand Load Cartoner. The business quickly spread throughout the San Joaquin Valley and the Western United States. By 1968 ADCO was selling machinery throughout the United States. ADCO entered the foreign market in 1974 by signing a contract with JUJO Central Co.,LTD, giving ADCO representation throughout the Far Eastern countries. Business through JUJO is still very strong; over 300 machines have been placed to date. Current machine sales locations are: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Columbia, France, Germany, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, South Africa, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Trinidad, United Kingdom, and of course, throughout the United States.
