To further enhance and support our customer base with the best technical solutions, we have added several key personnel to the JEM Technical Engineering and Applications teams in the last 15 months. These individuals have a collective 125 years of mobile

fl uid power experience and specifi c knowledge and expertise with cartridge valves, sectional valves and mobile electronics.

Our commitment to these staffi ng additions is a direct response to our growing business and continued customer support as the technology leader for valve solutions in the upper Midwest, Florida and the Canadian provinces of Manitoba,

Saskatchewan, and Alberta. Last year we manufactured over 140,000 manifolds while maintaining our lead-times and achieving an on-time delivery performance of 97%. This year JEM Technical is investing in additional capacity and machinery

to further enhance our manufacturing capabilities and to meet our future customer growth.

Your Regional Sales Manager has access to these resources to support you on-site at your location or at our facility here in the Twin Cities. Please keep this in mind as you look to improve or re-design your equipment’s hydraulics or electronics systems.
