About Us -
AJM was originally founded as a distributor of commercial paper, plastic and foil packaging products and related cleaning, janitorial and order processing supplies and equipment by three (3) Detroit area brothers operating out of a small warehouse in Detroit's Eastern Market. In 1957 they built and moved into slightly larger quarters on Detroit's southwest side, where, for the very first time, they began manufacturing their own products. Over the ensuing decades, AJM gradually evolved from its broadline distributor beginnings into a major paper products manufacturer, today employing nearly 3,000 people and operating eight (8) manufacturing and five (5) warehouse/distribution facilities strategically located throughout the United States.
Some things have undoubtedly changed since AJM was founded, but the company's commitment to its customers and employees, alike, has not wavered and is deeply embedded in its DNA. So, too, is the founding brothers' entrepreneurial spirit, "can do" attitude and singular focus on the value proposition that has fueled the company's success from the very beginning. We're still family owned and operated, still manufacturing our products in the good old USA and still providing our customers with the same reliable service and quality products they've come to expect from AJM for more than 75 years now.
