Its divisions produce materials used in a variety of construction projects, from road improvements to commercial and residential developments.The company's operations bring several steps of the manufacturing process together locally. Materials begin in J-M-I's gravel pits, are engineered in its offices and produced at its plants before being delivered to customers throughout the region."Our products start from our gravel pits, are engineered in our offices, produced locally in our plants and then we get to work with our local contractors and service our local customers, and it all can happen in one area," said Adam Hoisington, J-M-I's director of operations.Behind the process is a team of employees responsible for testing, manufacturing, handling and delivering the materials."There is a lot that really goes into this, from testing the material to manufacturing the material and even loading the material and what it is going to be used for," said Rebekah Nickerson, a J-M-I machine operator. "It may look easy from the outside, but it is much more complicated when you dive deep into it."Shannon Mescall, the company's accounting manager, said J-M-I's products serve a wide range of industries and organizations, with considerable work going into their production."We are providing materials that are used in so many capacities and in so many organizations and in so many ways," Mescall said. "There is so much detail that goes into the products that we are manufacturing."Once production is complete, J-M-I's fleet transports materials to construction sites and customers across the region. Drivers haul a variety of aggregate products throughout the year, along with asphalt during the warmer months."We haul any kind of aggregate, sand, stones and different sizes of stones, and then in the summertime we haul blacktop," said Ron Matter, a J-M-I fleet operator and driver. "We just did Fairmount Avenue here, and it's very satisfying. Now it's nice and smooth."For company leadership, the work represents an opportunity to contribute to the region's infrastructure while continuing to build on the company's history."I am proud of the company that we have become. I was proud of the company when I started here. We have an awesome team, and we are happy to provide top-of-the-line products to improve the infrastructure around here," said Aaron Olson, J-M-I's vice president.Antoinetta Lindell, president and CEO of the Warren County Chamber of Business and Industry, said regional employers such as J-M-I play an important role in supporting the local economy and providing employment opportunities."Having regional employers like J-M-I is so important for our local economy because it helps provide more employment opportunities for job seekers not only in Chautauqua County but in Warren County as well, which is truly so beneficial for everyone," Lindell said.Through its asphalt, aggregate and concrete operations, J-M-I continues to support construction and infrastructure projects while maintaining its family-owned roots and regional presence.The company is also looking to expand its workforce and is currently hiring for multiple positions across its operations.For more information about J-M-I Corporation and current employment opportunities, visit their website at https://jmi-corp.com/.</div></body>
