Our Jtec Family

The Jtec family consists of more than 120 employees at full employment, each dedicated to providing quality products for our customers.

Leadership

Our two principle owners, Jon Peterson (right) and Joe Knepp (left), together have more than 58 years of experience in the manufacturing industry. Joe is an engineer and leads the many experienced members of our design and engineering team. Jon has a very successful sales background and leads an experienced sales team with a deep understanding of the industries’ trends, needs and history. Both have strong business acumen.

They both envision a bright future for Jtec Industries, Inc. With Lean Manufacturing at the forefront of business operations throughout the manufacturing industry, they have positioned Jtec to handle the growth expected for their solutions and carefully controlled the quality of materials being fabricated and built.  Jtec's quality is well known by all their customers.
