NewAge Industries started as a dream of Raymond Baker’s back in 1954.

It was in that year that this young salesman-turned-entrepreneur purchased a small company that manufactured and imported metal hardness testers.

The company outgrows its first building in Bala Cynwyd and moves to Jenkintown, where it will stay for another two moves, each time relocating to larger accommodations. Several new PVC products are introduced to expand NewAge’s product line.

1975

Willow Grove becomes the new home of NewAge. A large building on a corner lot allows the company more warehouse space, leading to the offering of more tubing materials.

1984

Ken Hicks, who ran the plastic tubing side of the business, retires and Baker brings on his son, Ken.

The company begins molding manifold connections and BioClosure® stopper assemblies. These Single-Use options are the start of an array of products designed for the biopharm industry.

The ESOP – Employee Stock Ownership Plan – is established, giving team members a 30% stake in the company at no cost to them.

NewAge Industries adopts a sustainability initiative and embraces alternative energy. Over 4,000 solar panels are installed on the roof of the company’s headquarters, and the power system has the capacity to produce up to one megawatt continuously.

That same year, Verigenics®, the RFID technology division of NewAge Industries, is launched. This division offers innovative solutions to enable medical device, pharmaceutical and other regulated companies to track and authenticate consumables, assets and equipment using radio frequency identification.

Another 10% of the company is sold to the ESOP, making team members 40% owners. In another three years, the ESOP will own 49% of NewAge.
