CODI ORIGINS
Our founder Bill Jones established CODI with a straightforward idea: if you build it right and provide value, people will trust you with their next purchase. Still, the early days were lean. There were Greyhound buses taken when there wasn't money for airfare, and projects won on Bill's reputation and credibility alone. That era shaped everything about how this company operates today.
Over the decades, CODI built deep expertise in industrial automation and material handling equipment for the beverage packaging industry. We designed and built canning lines, tunnel pasteurizers, palletizers, and conveyance systems for some of the most demanding production environments in North America and Asia. We were an integral part of the craft beverage boom of the 2010s. But the truth is we learned manufacturing the hard way: by doing it, fixing it, and doing it better the next time.

THE CODI WAY
Instead of a vague corporate mission statement, we abide by what we call The CODI Way. You won't find a poster with bullet points describing it, but you will see it in everything we do.
"The answer is not, 'no, we can't do that.' It's, 'yeah, we do that.'"
JARED JONES, CEO
Accountability is the baseline expectation for everyone, including leadership. Opportunity isn't earned by degrees or titles, it's earned by effort. We empower people and give them real ownership: if you want to run the project, it's yours.
"I'm never going to ask you to do something I myself am not willing to do."
JARED JONES, CEO
"We're going to give you the honest answer, even if it may eliminate us from the project."
JARED JONES, CEO
There are no sidelines at CODI. Whatever needs to get done gets done by whoever is there to do it.
"Word of mouth is always going to win. People listen to their friends."

LEADERSHIP
The average tenure of our core leadership team is over 13 years and is comprised of self-starters who figured out they could build a career here, and put in the work to do so. Some of them have kids who work alongside them now.
We hire for attitude and train for skill. We bring in exceptional people and invest in their development. We also participate in partnerships with local trade schools and we embrace internships for those who want to learn manufacturing. As we tell our people: if you want to grow here, the path exists.
LET'S TALK
We are not a high-pressure sales organization. We will give you the information you need, answer your questions honestly, and tell you if we're not the right fit for your project. We'd rather lose a deal than mislead someone into one.
We are real people, building real products and we'd like to hear about your project.
No pressure. Just a conversation.
AI Approach for this website
We use AI selectively, not as a shortcut. Some product descriptions start with AI assistance, but every line is reviewed and edited by our team before it goes live. Nearly all our videos and photography are shot in house, by real people, on real equipment, on our shop floor or at customer locations. Blog post are written by humans. And when you reach out to us, you get a person, not a bot.
Frankly, we'd rather put our people into engineering and manufacturing than into churning out marketing content. That's where the real value is, and that's where we want our team focused.
