Resin Research Labs., Inc. v. Gemini Roller Corp

In Resin Research Labs., Inc. v. Gemini Roller Corp., 105 N.J. Super. 401, 252 A.2d 415 (App.Div.1969), the New York defendant, a manufacturer of rollers for the printing trades, contacted Resin Research, a New Jersey corporation, to procure a formula for a vinyl resin to use in its rollers. Resin undertook to prepare the vinyl resin for Gemini, and after Gemini refused to pay the balance on the contract, Resin sued. Id. at 404, 252 A.2d 415. The trial court dismissed the complaint, reasoning that Gemini's office and factory were in New York, that Gemini owned no real property in New Jersey and that the only evidence of Gemini's contact with New Jersey was solely related to the transaction at issue. Id. The Court reversed because "Gemini contacted Resin in New Jersey and Resin's work was done here, where it was reasonable to expect it would be done." Id.
