History

Jered was founded in 1946 in Detroit as an engineering design facility serving commercial and government markets. As the Company developed, a major portion of the projects undertaken were in the marine field, particularly with the U.S. Navy.

In 1964, Jered purchased the marine deck machinery lines of the American Engineering Company and the C.H. Wheeler Company. These organizations had designed and manufactured steering gear, deck cranes and deck machinery for the Navy for over 80 years. Jered acquired all design data, tools and patterns, and most important, the services of numerous key technical personnel. These professionals provided the experience and knowledge necessary to complement and strengthen Jered's overall position in the marine machinery field and led to Jered becoming one of the leading designers and manufacturers of steering gear systems for the Navy today.

Building on this experience during the 1970s, Jered became a major source of naval machinery products including deck cranes, weapons and cargo elevators, steering gear, anchor windlasses, deck edge aircraft elevators and special material cargo handling systems. It was during this period that the Jered deck edge aircraft elevator became the U.S. Navy standard.

In January 1980, Jered was acquired by Vickers PLC, a diverse engineering group, based in the UK. Jered remained under their ownership until July, 1997 when it again became U.S. owned and a designated "small business" under the guidelines of the U.S. Department of Labor Small Business Administration.

Jered's current staffing of approximately 100 includes design engineering, program management, production control, quality assurance with Level II and III NDT technicians, material management, welding engineers, certified welders, test engineers, technicians and field service engineers. Jered's manufacturing facility operates under a quality assurance system certified to ISO 9001. Jered's legacy includes a long history of compliance to Mil-Q-9858A.

In 1992 Jered relocated its operations to Brunswick, Georgia, to a 185,000 sq. ft. facility on 110 acres of property adjacent to the Georgia Ports Authority. The larger manufacturing base has enabled the company to expand the diversity of its product range. Recent orders include the U.S. Navy's ELCAS(M) portable causeway system, the fabrication and erection of a Panamax container gantry crane - as a sub-contractor - for the Jacksonville Port Authority, and two 130 tons capacity special rubber tired gantry cranes and straddle carriers for cargo container handling systems in port facilities.

In August of 2005, PaR Systems, Inc. announced the acquisition of the operations of Jered Industries, Inc. by Jered LLC. Jered LLC will continue to preserve its strong knowledge base and successful history as a wholly owned subsidiary of PaR Systems, Inc.
