Color-coding is an important topic for food processors and at Nelson-Jameson, Inc. we understand this. We continue to work with our suppliers to provide the products necessary for you, our customer, whether that be the same products in new colors or completely new products to fill a void.
One request we’ve continued to hear is the need for additional colors. About a year ago we began offering orange products and we heard rave reviews, but that we needed still more colors. So, we are happy to announce that we are now adding purple to our product offering. You will find that many of our most common products are now available in purple to allow you to expand your color-coding programs.
Whether you need a shovel, floor sweep, utility cart or knife in purple, we now have you covered. We continue to look for more products in purple to expand our offering, but

Originally from the Japanese car industry, the 5S method is now commonplace in production facilities globally. It provides a streamlined work environment that can lower costs, increase efficiency, and produce better product and a more motivated staff. 5S lays the groundwork for a visual workplace – for improving quality, organization, efficiency, housekeeping AND safety in your organization.
5S consists of these components:
Sort – go thru each area and eliminate all tools and supplies not used in that process.
Set in Order - arrange the work area for maximum efficiency, everything in its place.
Shine - a systematic approach to cleaning and scheduled maintenance of all equipment.
Standardizing - everything looks the same and is simplified.
Sustaining – keeping up what has been accomplished.

About a month ago, I posted a blog New Products on the Horizon describing some of the new and exciting products that were in the works for the Production and Material Handling category. Well, I am here to happily tell you that what once started out as a few customer requests here and there, has now been converted into a reality. I have worked with one of our vendors; REMCO, to expand the offering of orange color-coded products. We have added orange items from floor brooms and squeegees to dustpans and pails. We now offer an abundance of orange tools that are available to help ensure that every in-plant zone or task has its own distinct color.
To see all of the recently added orange tools, please click on the links below for a full color iamge of our available orange tools.
