Over the ensuing decades, AJM gradually evolved from its broadline distributor beginnings into a major paper products manufacturer, today employingnearly 3,000people andoperatingeight (8) manufacturing and five (5) warehouse/distribution facilities strategicallylocatedthroughout 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.
