What Our Team Has to Say About Working at JBC Real testimonials from production professionals at JBC Technologies

Andy Brady (General Manager): "I have climbed the ladder from a machine operator to a general manager in my 35-year career. I feel like you gain a lot of respect from fellow team members that way, rather than just getting hired into a position." Read more from Andy here!

Alex Williams (Machine Operator): "I remembered how much I liked running the rotary machines and how much I enjoyed the smaller team environment and close-knit culture. It just works better for me all around." Read more from Alex here!

Since 1988, JBC Technologies has grown from a small garage-based operation with a few machines to a leading die-cutting and converting partner with facilities spanning four states. Our custom die-cut components find their way into everything from medical stick-to-skin tapes that keep CGM patches in place to reflective satellite brightness mitigation films that are launched into Earth's orbit!
