Eldon James launches F&B division

Eldon James Corporation, a leading U.S. based manufacturer of plastic tubing and connectors, is expanding its presence in the food industry. On Tuesday, it announced the launching of EJ Beverage, its own food and beverage division, which will focus on product development. 

“With the advancements that we have achieved for our customers in the medical, biomedical and

pharmaceutical markets, we found that these same innovations can benefit the food and beverage industry as well,” stated Mark Timbrook, director of Marketing.  “Our research and development with antimicrobial and PVC free tubing and connectors has proven that these technologies can have a significant role in solving some common issues for food and beverage applications.” 

As early as last year, EJ Beverage has already been collaborating with companies like the New Belgium Brewing Company in Fort Collins, CO and the Research Center Weihenstephan for Brewing and Food Quality in Germany, for the testing and improvement of its future releases. These products can be applied to beer, wine, water and other food products, and will be made exclusively in the United States.

Eldon James will be expanding to a brand new 75,000-square-foot facility in Denver, Colorado, by September 2013, and EJ Beverage has already scheduled some of that expanded capacity with a full line of tubing and connector products.
