However, only a few machine vendors can design and deliver the broad range of equipment needed to efficiently manufacture these products and get them to market. One such company is Curt G. Joa, Inc., a privately held specialty machine builder with plants in Sheboygan Falls Sheboygan Falls may refer to:

During that time, Joa has established a reputation for quiet competence in the nonwovens industry, practicing continuous improvement in the design of equipment for the production of disposable diapers, adult incontinence products and sanitary napkins, to name only a few. The nonwovens industry is one of intense competition and secrecy, and surviving in this environment means adapting to the needs of the most demanding customers.

Separate, secure assembly and testing bays are available at Joa, providing short- or long-term facilities for projects which might have a developmental and shakedown life ranging from months to years. Projects can range in technology from a simple rotary cut-off cut-off Anesthesiology The point at which elongation of the carbon chain of the 1-alkanol family of anesthetics results in a precipitous drop in the anesthetic potential of these agents–eg, at > 12 carbons in length, there is little anesthetic activity,  unit to major converting machines over 130 feet long, each using upwards of 90 servo An electromechanical device that uses feedback to provide precise starts and stops for such functions as the motors on a tape drive or the moving of an access arm on a disk.  axes.

Web speeds may reach up to 1500 feet per minute, depending on the product being processed. The engineering staffs at the two facilities represent a complete range of machine-building disciplines. The Boynton Beach, Florida Boynton Beach is a city in Palm Beach County, Florida, United States. The population was 60,389 at the 2000 census. As of 2006, the city had a population of 66,714 according to the University of Florida, Bureau of Economic and Business Research.  facility has about 15 mechanical and electrical engineers This is a list of electrical engineers, people who made contributions to electrical engineering or computer engineering.

, while the Wisconsin facility has about 75. AutoCAD, SolidEdge and Promis-E are the drawing standards, and total company employment is about 485. Full manufacturing capabilities are found at both locations, with about 400,000 square feet total.

In spite of its worldwide reputation for success in the disposable diaper and sanitary napkin sectors, a significant percentage of Joa's total sales lies in providing equipment for specialty products outside of this realm. High quality, high speed, continuous motion designs for web processing and unusual product handling needs is a niche market A niche market also known as a target market is a focused, targetable portion (subset) of a market sector.

By definition, then, a business that focuses on a niche market is addressing a need for a product or service that is not being addressed by mainstream providers.
 in which few machine vendors excel. Curt G. Jon, Inc. fills that niche quite well.
