History

Jered LLC started its walk in maritime construction over sixty years ago. Founded in Detroit, Michigan in 1946, Jered began as a general engineering design firm serving commercial and government markets. As the company grew, 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 (AEC) and the C.H. Wheeler Company (CHWC). For over 80 years, these organizations designed and manufactured steering gear, deck cranes and deck machinery for the Navy. Many key AEC and CHWC personnel joined Jered, providing experience and knowledge to complement and strengthen Jered’s overall position in the marine machinery field. As a result of these acquisitions, Jered became one of the leading designers and manufacturers of steering gear systems for today’s U.S. Navy.

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 handling systems. It was during this time that Jered’s Deck Edge Aircraft Elevator became the U.S. Navy standard. Jered continues to work diligently to ensure it maintains this distinction today.

In January 1980, Jered was acquired by Vickers PLC, a diverse engineering group, based in the United Kingdom. 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.

In 1992 Jered relocated its operations to Brunswick, Georgia, occupying an 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.

In 1997, Jered acquired the New England Trawler Equipment Company (NETEC), a manufacturer of specialty marine deck machinery for over 75 years, and began supporting the product line as an extension of Jered’s traditional products. The NETEC product line includes Towing Winches, Anchor Winches, Mooring Winches, Anchor Windlasses, Escort/Bow Winches, Capstans, Hawser Reels, and Oceanographic Winches.

In August 2005, PaR Systems, Inc. acquired Jered Industries, Inc., which became Jered LLC. Following this merge with PaR Systems and Ederer, LLC, Jered greatly enhanced its ability to rapidly develop new designs to confidently meet the latest industry requirements.

In June of 2006, Jered LLC acquired the Unidynamics’ product line. This strategic acquisition added Helicopter Hangar Doors, Vertical Package Conveyors, Access Doors, Aviation Maintenance Cranes, Well Deck Cranes, and Launch Handling and Recovery Cranes, along with numerous other products. Today, Unidynamics products are fully integrated with Jered’s traditional products.

Jered's experienced staff 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. The manufacturing facility operates under a quality assurance system certified to ISO 9001, and Jered is Mil-Q-9858A compliant.
