JET PRESS
JET PRESS is a
distributor of value
engineered solutions
and components. We
help manufacture,
build and assemble
engineered fasteners,
components, and
hardware. Our goal is
to lower the risk, cost,
and complexity of our
customers’ supply
chains.
We source globally
from over 120 suppliers,
carry a range of 25,000
standard items and hold
80,000,000 fasteners
and components in our
warehouse. If we don’t
have the component
you need, we’ll source
it. If we can’t source it,
we’ll manufacture it.
We were founded
as a local, family
company in 1977. Now
we have a subsidiary in
Germany, a storage and
distribution facility in
the Czech Republic and
a manufacturing facility
in Buckinghamshire.
And we are still a family
company.
