Who or what is JASA?

Our friends call us JASA, but our full name is JASA Packaging Solutions, a partner in packaging solutions. Please just call us JASA.
JASA stands for innovation, quality, and flexibility in packaging technology. And as you may have seen on our website, we package everything in a sustainable way as much as possible. We are specialists in developing and manufacturing weighing and packaging machines. We are also specialized in the (inter)national sales of these machines and complete packaging lines. You will find products packed on JASA equipment in most supermarkets, such as salad bowls, vegetable packages, apple trays, fruits, and potatoes. The tapas you get at the supermarket to go with your drinks? Yep, those trays are also filled on our packaging lines.

Thinking out-of-the-box is JASA's second nature, providing our customers with innovations and smart packaging solutions. We have over 35 years of experience as a system integrator and take full ownership of the entire sorting, weighing, and packaging process. From the infeed of products to weighing and the filling and sealing of the packages, robotized or otherwise.

In developing these solutions, JASA finds it essential to reduce (plastic) packaging materials, reduce energy consumption, and design maintenance-friendly systems.

The Team

We form an enthusiastic team in which you will fit right in. We have been building packaging machines for over thirty years, focusing on hygiene, efficiency, ease of use, and service.
