Our Formula for Success

Building on 30+ Years of Proven Results

“Over 75% of our current
customer base has partnered
with JLO for more than 10 years”

While any company can make a one-time promise of better quality, lower prices, or faster deliveries, JLO Metal Products demonstrates superior quality, competitive prices, and prompt deliveries over the long term.

JLO’s depth of resources rivals all other contract manufacturers of impacted aluminum extrusions. With 28 impact extrusion presses, a highly qualified staff of more than 60 people, and carefully cultivated business alliances JLO Metal Products has established a solid foundation for years to come.

Proactively Seeking New Solutions

“JLO products earn an
annual average customer
acceptance rate of 99.86%”

While we are very proud of our past accomplishments, JLO Metal Products recognizes that history alone does not guarantee future success. We attempt to anticipate market trends and plan to meet the implied new demands. JLO’s focus on continuous improvement requires constant re-evaluation of our processes to achieve technological advantages, quality enhancements and cost reductions that can be passed to our valued business partners. Our efforts have lowered our reported rejection rate to an impressive 564 PPM.

Accepting Applications at All Stages of the Product Lifecycle

While other impact extrusion service providers only offer production solutions for rapidly growing or mature applications, JLO Metal Products offers solutions for applications throughout all stages of product development.

We distinguish ourselves from the competition by suggesting ways to:

Improve the manufacturability and overall quality of your prototype designs
Replace less efficient processes with production techniques more suitable for mass quantities
Meet difficult production schedule deadlines and time-to-market requirements
Reduce material scrap for parts that require secondary machining
Increase your profit margin

Whether your company is outsourcing production of an established item to free in-house capacity, exploring cost reduction possibilities through redesign, or just starting out, JLO provides the right services and manufacturing capabilities to successfully complete the job.

Providing Personalized Service

We take pride in our “Customer Friendly” image. Though office automation makes many of today’s business transactions seem increasingly routine, JLO Metal Products believes that each connection with our clients deserves a personal touch. This familial approach helped establish our organization as a trusted industry resource over 30 years ago, and is just as valuable and important today. Between the hours of 8am and 4:30pm Central time, your call will be answered by a member of the JLO team, not by a machine. Your faxed and emailed inquiries will receive immediate consideration from our staff of customer service, sales, and engineering professionals. If you prefer to schedule a face-to-face meeting, our nationwide network of highly qualified field sales representatives are just minutes away.
