Leveraging its extensive process engineering expertise and state-of-the art vertically integrated converting equipment, the company fabricates complex parts made from diverse materials for customers all over the globe. In addition to high volume custom die-cutting, JBC offers diverse value-added services, including digital cutting, slitting, laminating, embossing, micro-perforating, spooling, rapid prototyping, ultrasonic welding, printing, and clean room manufacturing. The organization\u2019s CEO, Todd Wright, tells us more about its origins and evolution.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-49926\" src=\"https:\/\/manufacturing-today.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/08\/JBC-226-body-image-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manufacturing-today.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/08\/JBC-226-body-image-1.png 300w, https:\/\/manufacturing-today.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/08\/JBC-226-body-image-1-212x300.png 212w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cIn 1988, Joe Bliss, a mechanical engineer by training, founded JBC in Ohio together with his brother. Originally started as an O-ring distribution business, the company soon ventured into die-cutting custom gaskets. Subsequently, it blossomed into the full-fledged converting business it is today,\u201d he opens.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cAlthough Joe is no longer actively working in the business, he remains on our board, and we continue to uphold his passion for helping solve our customers\u2019 challenges through engineering. This mission was the driving force behind our growth in the past and is our key priority to this day. As an engineering-minded organization, we strive to undertake work that other converters may consider too difficult or even impossible. Therefore, we tend to focus on end markets that value this type of approach. More specifically, we are focused on growing within the medical and medical devices, electric vehicle (EV) battery solutions (especially in terms of thermal management), battery energy storage, and aerospace sectors. These end industries lend themselves to more complex and sophisticated solutions that demand a higher level of engineering and equipment capabilities, which is exactly where we excel and provide value to the marketplace.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Todd elaborates on what these complex capabilities entail. \u201cOur core expertise lies in die-cutting. We distinguish ourselves, not only with our extensive engineering expertise, but also with a very diverse stable of equipment that gives us the flexibility to cost-effectively fabricate unique custom parts for a broad range of end applications. Our basic, wide-format platen press die-cutting presses enable us to cut very large parts and multiple plies efficiently, reducing our use of raw materials. Our highly precise narrow-web platen and rotary die-cutting presses enable us to laminate, print, and ultrasonically weld in-line, achieve tight tolerances and undertake the most sophisticated die-cutting challenges. Highly complex parts and solutions fabricated using the rotary die cutting process form the base of our business.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe provide value for our customers in many other ways as well. For example, by utilizing Atom FlashCut cutters, laser cutters, and water jets for digital cutting, we avoid the need for tooling. These processes are ideal for prototypes, short runs, and kitted parts. Somewhat uncommonly for converters, we also specialize in automation. In practice, this means we use robotics and automation to integrate our die-cut components with our customers\u2019 parts, thereby providing a comprehensively integrated solution. Additionally, we offer material treatment through corona and plasma treating and provide embossing and micro-perforating for thin gauge aluminum and steel,\u201d he continues.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-49927\" src=\"https:\/\/manufacturing-today.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/08\/JBC-226-body-image-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"425\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manufacturing-today.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/08\/JBC-226-body-image-2.png 425w, https:\/\/manufacturing-today.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/08\/JBC-226-body-image-2-300x212.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/>Delving deeper on the subject, Todd reveals the range of technologies JBC leverages to improve its manufacturing efficiency. \u201cIn terms of our rotary equipment, we have implemented various digital upgrades to enhance our control over material usage. This is vital to our business as we do not manufacture any materials ourselves. By upgrading our equipment to incorporate computer technology and even artificial intelligence (AI) in some cases, we can achieve better yields and efficiencies. It is worth mentioning that we own and extensively use five Delta ModTech machines, which are some of the finest rotary die-cutting machines in the market. We also utilize a Dory Converting Systems machine that features integrated camera systems and is one of only seven of its kind in the US. As the market and our customers are increasingly looking to automate and become more efficient, investing in high-end rotary equipment allows us to provide them with parts that they can use in automation.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cBeyond that, we have invested in a digital printer and added printing capabilities to our press. This investment allows us to bring multiple materials together, print, and die cut them all in one pass, making our process much more efficient than doing each of those tasks separately and assembling everything later. Not only does this complete solution improve our production efficiency it also helps our customers streamline their operations and increase efficiency on their end,\u201d he informs.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Before concluding our discussion, Todd emphasizes another key development taking place at JBC. \u201cWe have made a significant investment in a medical facility located in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, just outside of Chicago. Shortly thereafter, we transformed it into a full clean facility with clean rooms. As we anticipate the continued growth of wearables and medical devices well into the future, we continuously invest in both capabilities and expertise within this facility,\u201d he goes on.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Thanks to JBC\u2019s dedication to tackling complex engineering challenges, many more industries are sure to benefit from its unique solutions and expertise in the years ahead.\u00a0<\/span><span
