The J&B story began with the start up of an aluminum foundry manufacturing machined components for racing motorcycles in 1960. This introduction into the world of metal casting soon outran motorcycles and over the next 25 years spawned a full service foundry organization producing foundry patterns, tooling and a wide range of aluminum, bronze and iron castings. In 1985, Jerry Hall and Bob Helmuth
changed direction, formed J&B Industrial Services and ventured from the casting manufacturing industry into a service organization offering assistance to customers in procurement of tooling and all manner of cast products. With our foundry background, we were able to assist and become the “one-stop” shop for tooling, castings, machining and become the managers of the customers’ inventory. As we progressed, in 2000, to assure quality products and positive deliveries, we initiated another change in our organization. We built our first building, bought our first CNC lathe along with some manual machinery and started full, finished and inventoried products for turn key complete products for our customers. Now, with the best staff available, we have grown to 50,000 square feet, 19 CNC machines, full CAD/CAM engineering facilities and JIT stocking program to service a wide range of products and a wide variety of customers.
