Special Thursday Tour!
MJS Packaging’s story begins with Max Jacob, who immigrated to the United States in 1880. Full of youth and ambition, Max started a one-man bottle exchange business in 1885: the M. Jacob Company. Soon his fledgling company had developed a reputation for innovation and quality service. When Max’s sons entered the business, it was renamed to reflect the family tradition: M. Jacob & Sons. Now five generations and 129 years later, the company is still family-owned and operated.
This special partnership tour will allow you to hear about the past, present and future of the company and their rich history with Wayne State University as you explore the Max Jacob House and the Elaine Jacob Gallery on Wayne State’s campus, both with ties to the founders of MJS Packaging.
