What Jonix does

Jonix S.A. is a privately held Argentine industrial equipment manufacturer specializing in auxiliary machinery for the plastics processing industry. Founded in 1991 and headquartered in Villa Adelina, Buenos Aires, with a regional office in Barueri, São Paulo, the company designs, manufactures, sells, and installs four integrated product categories: dosing systems (DGX gravimetric blenders, DVX volumetric feeders, DLX/BPX liquid dosing units, MIX dynamic mixers), material conveying equipment (APX vacuum loaders, UFX vacuum pumps, AVX/AVX-MIX compressed air loaders, AMX mechanical loaders), storage solutions (TAX stainless-steel bins, Big-Bag unloaders), and hot runner temperature controllers (S8000 touch screen controller, Serie 850 modular system, plus multipolar cables and connectors). Technical differentiators include microprocessor-controlled autocalibration, RS485 network communication, stainless-steel construction for contamination-sensitive applications, and modular hot runner designs enabling rapid field maintenance.

The company sells directly to enterprise plastics manufacturers across 8 industry verticals — Automotive, PET, Packaging, Tubes and Profiles, Home Appliances, Recycling, Pharmaceutical, and Film/Cling Film — with a named customer base of 14+ industrial buyers including Aptar, Clariant, Bericap, Greif, Grupo Simpa, and Liliana. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales complemented by technical services (factory visits, training, repairs, spare parts, and preventive maintenance contracts); pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market relies on direct field sales via two physical offices, regular Argenplas trade show participation (2018, 2020, 2024, 2026), a trilingual corporate website (Spanish, Portuguese, English), and corporate LinkedIn/Twitter channels. The company has no disclosed external funding, operates with 11–50 employees, and is structured as a standalone family-controlled entity with no parent company or institutional investor involvement indicated in the source data.

Core offering

Jonix S.A. designs, manufactures, commercializes, and installs auxiliary equipment for the plastics processing industry. Its product portfolio spans four main categories — dosing systems (gravimetric blenders, volumetric feeders, liquid dispensers, dynamic mixers), material transport (vacuum and compressed air loaders, mechanical loaders, vacuum pumps), storage (stainless steel bins, big-bag unloaders), and hot runner temperature controllers — sold primarily to industrial injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding manufacturers in Argentina and Brazil.

Product overview

Jonix is a company dedicated to the design, manufacturing, commercialization, and installation of auxiliary products and equipment for the plastics industry. The product portfolio consists of four main categories: Dosing (gravimetric blenders DGX, volumetric feeders DVX, liquid dosing systems DLX and BPX, dynamic mixers MIX), Conveying (vacuum loaders APX, vacuum pumps UFX, compressed air loaders AVX and AVX-MIX, mechanical loaders AMX), Storage (TAX storage bins, Big-Bags unloader), and Hot Runner Controllers (S8000 touch screen controller, Serie 850 modular system, plus multipolar cables and connectors as accessories). The products work together to provide complete material handling solutions from storage through conveying, dosing/mixing, and injection mold temperature control for plastics manufacturing.
