Jamco Group, Company

Founded in 1976 under the umbrella of JAMCO Group of Companies in Jordan, International Plastic Company, (IPCO), started with two extrusion lines to manufacture PVC glazing strips with a total production of 140 tons per annum. After 4 years, IPCO became the main supplier of advanced and resourceful irrigation systems by producing Low Density (LDPE) and High Density (HDPE) Polyethylene pipes. By 1986, IPCO had produced enough pipes to circle the globe. In 1990 the company commenced production of HDPE potable water pipes to International Standards. This was in order to supply the Jordan Water Authority's major new projects to replace aging steel water pipes, and thus IPCO successfully became the leading supplier in Jordan. As a further development, in 1991 IPCO launched a medical department to produce IV solution bags. This has proved to be highly successful and we are now exporting on a regular basis. In January 1997 IPCO was officially registered to the ISO 9002:1994 Standard under the following scope "Manufacture of HDPE Pipes for Drinking Water and PVC Sheaths and Tubes for IV Bags and its Accessories." In 2002 the company added a new and higher speed extruder (Battenfeld), with a greater facility for manufacturing HDPE pipes with larger diameters to satisfy the market requirements. This year, IPCO launched a new product for sanitary and central heating, the Crosslinked Polyethylene pipe, (PEX). At present, IPCO operates as the leading producer and distributor of top quality commodities in the water industry in Jordan. This is demonstrated by the successful completion of numerous projects for the Water Authority and the Ministry of Agriculture.
