What CODI Manufacturing does

CODI Manufacturing is a privately held, second-generation, family-owned industrial equipment manufacturer headquartered in a 100,000 sq ft vertically integrated facility in Littleton, Colorado. Founded in 1992 by Bill Jones and now led by his son CEO Jared Jones, the company designs and builds custom automation equipment for the beverage packaging and industrial markets. Its product portfolio spans the full production line — container cleaning, conveying, depalletizing/palletizing, counter pressure filling and seaming, pasteurizing/warming/cooling, packaging and post-fill, and power controls (UL 891 switchboards, UL 508A, UL 67, UL 1008) — supported by multiple U.S. patents on counter pressure filling, seaming, vacuum rinsing, and conveyor retrofit systems. The company also offers contract manufacturing and a Masterclass training program.

CODI generates revenue primarily through custom hardware sales of equipment configured to customer specifications, with additional streams from contract manufacturing services, replacement parts and field service, and paid training. Go-to-market is consultative direct sales (enterprise field sales) supplemented by a select network of regional resellers and system integrators. Pricing is quote-based and project-driven with multi-year contract cadences and Factory Acceptance Testing requirements. The customer base is diversified across craft beverage producers (the primary segment), can making and component suppliers, large beverage producers, data center / power distribution customers, and digital printing/can decorating operations, with installations across North America, Asia, and EU-certified markets.
