About Jtec Industries

Locally owned and operated with a large customer base across the US, Canada, and Mexico. Jtec is vertically integrated – our team does it all: from marketing and selling our product, through R&D and production engineering, to machining, welding, painting, assembling, and shipping to customers. Support comes from administration and roles including safety, inventory, quality, production support, maintenance, and human resources.

Jtec is at the forefront of new technology in the material handling industry. In 2010, the CarryMore Tugger Cart System was introduced – a Mother/Daughter cart tandem design that reduces costs, improves delivery times, and enhances workplace safety. In 2016, the CarryMatic Autonomous Materials Movement System was launched, an electric powered system for hands-free transport working with AGVs and AMRs. Jtec Industries has a robust product catalog with four lines and is known for expertise in cart solutions.

Employees are more than a number at Jtec. Engagement activities include quarterly events (BBQ catered holiday luncheon, hamburger cookouts, Tremont Turkey Festival meal), one-on-one discussions 2-3 times per year, team building (bags/cornhole matches, giant Jenga), a rotating "Teamwork Task Force" Employee Engagement Committee that chooses the Jtec Masters' Employee of the Month, periodic Wellness Wednesday snacks, and monthly Snack Days.
