About JAX

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.

Eric Peter

Senior Research Advisor

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.

Lubricant Solutions for Chains

Tailored Lubricant Solutions for Chains in Extreme Environments

Industrial chains aid production and manufacturing operations in practically every industry imaginable — from foods and beverages to mining and packaging. Failing to lubricate chains properly for a specific application can lead to chain integrity issues and, eventually, catastrophic failure. This oversight results in downtime, inefficiencies, and added operational costs. At their core, all chain lubricants serve a similar purpose: to significantly prolong chain life by providing protection from corrosion, oxidation, and wear. Additionally, depending on the application at hand, they can be formulated to assist in carrying sudden heavy loads and in handling extreme temperatures and humidity. JAX offers chain lubricants for the harshest of applications, and here is a spotlight on a few of these products and what makes them so unique in their effectiveness.
