Who we are

Who we are

Download our brochure

After experiencing first hand the difficulties of managing production on the other side of the world, we founded our company to assist manufacturers with their global sourcing challenges.  In response to customer needs, we focused on forging, casting, machining, and fabrication. We appreciate the stringent specifications of the parts and the relationships we have built with both suppliers and customers. We are both thankful and proud that the early customers that shaped the direction of our company are still with us today.

In 2015, we changed the trade name of the company from The Janssen Boas Company to JB Metalcraft to better reflect the work we do.
