JAX INC. is a US-based lubricant manufacturer and global supplier of the highest quality synthetic, industrial, and food grade lubricants. We have been in business since 1955 and are proud to be a driving, innovative force in the lubrication of machinery and processes. We are not a major oil company, a satellite division of a multinational owner, or a piece of a venture capital portfolio. As a privately held company, we have the freedom and autonomy to compound lubricants without compromising superior performance for price.
What does that mean for you? It means that we are never distracted from our primary goal of helping our customers optimize their operations and achieve long-term success. From formulating new lubricants for unique processes to working closely with our customers on their maintenance plans, it is the hundreds of little and not-so-little things that set us apart.
I am thrilled to announce a significant milestone for JAX as we move into our new, state-of-the-art headquarters. This expansion represents a major leap forward for our company, as we embrace a future of enhanced capabilities, growth, and a steadfast commitment to our customers and employees.
With expanded production capabilities and a cutting-edge R&D laboratory, we are poised to serve our customers even better than before. This strategic investment reaffirms our mission to protect critical equipment worldwide.
At JAX, being accessible is at the forefront of our business. We strive to be a reliable and approachable partner for our customers and suppliers, understanding their unique needs and providing tailored solutions. This move allows us to better serve our clients with increased efficiency and expanded resources.
Our commitment to the future of the industries we serve remains firm. By investing in our new headquarters, we signal our dedication to supporting the growth and evolution of our customers’ operations.
With our expanded laboratory and R&D capability, we continue to embrace innovation. At JAX we will continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible to ensure that our solutions remain at the cutting edge of technology.
However, our success is not solely measured by our products and services. JAX is a company that deeply cares about its employees and the communities we live in and serve. Our new headquarters provides an exceptional working environment that fosters creativity, collaboration, and professional development. We believe that by creating an outstanding workplace, we empower our employees to deliver exceptional results for our customers.
This monumental step forward fills me with great excitement and anticipation for the future of JAX. I am confident that our new headquarters will be a catalyst for even greater achievements, innovation, collaboration, and customer satisfaction.
Thank you for your continued support as we embark on this exciting journey. We look forward to sharing our progress, success stories, and dedication to protecting critical equipment worldwide.
When looking at this fabulous new JAX facility, it is hard to fathom that about 500 yards to the south lies our first building from the 1950’s. No one could have imagined then, or in many of the subsequent years, the level of success with which our little company would be blessed.
The new state-of-the-art JAX headquarters will feature the most modern laboratory and manufacturing technology. Our customers will benefit from the quality of our research and products, which will expand our offerings to the industry. Our JAX team will enjoy modern amenities surrounded by an energizing, natural setting which will serve as a welcoming campus to all our visitors.
My hopes are for another seventy years of exceptional service and success, and that this beautiful new headquarters may be a useful tool in accomplishing that goal.
