Keep Adjusting To Reality

Keep Adjusting To Reality

JADCO • Rich F.2024-08-12T10:02:27-04:00

Celebrating another milestone last week, JADCO Mfg. Inc. has earned many loyal customers over our 44+ years in business.

One common trait we’ve witnessed with many new customers that they initially suffered from was “Always doing things in the most difficult way possible.“

Cracked Repair
One key indication you are doing things the hard way is having to repair cracks, and patching over failed wear plate. The ability to withstand impact AND abrasion is beyond the ability of most wear plates. This is why you hear our competitors say, “…our wear plate is just as good as QT-PLUS ®, plus it is cheaper.” We wish them luck attempting to deliver on that promise!

From our decades of experience, we can assure you, no matter how tough things may seem for you right now, don’t despair. Like most things that are worthwhile, most are easier said than done.

What our customers also agree upon is most of their problems eventually pass and become learning experiences.

This means either:

• You learn your lessons and improve.

• Or you are forced to repeat the lesson and go through the test again until you overcome your wear issues.

Our most loyal customer is one who continued using their standard wear plate, while hoping for better results. When they saw the difference JADCO delivers, they wonder why they waited so long to switch.

A huge key in wear plate and in life, is to not take defeat as a personal failure. Partner with experienced people who have already delivered positive outcomes in your industry. This allows you to rapidly make the leap to better results.  Don’t you deserve the best as well?

Life is an ongoing adventure and just when you think you have all the answers, someone changes the questions.

ALWAYS KEEP ADJUSTING TO REALITY. IT IS A CRITICAL SKILL.

JADCO’s QT-PLUS ® delivers greater performance IN YOUR MOST CHALLENGING WEAR APPLICATIONS than the various AR400 or AR450 steel plates you have used previously.

Being able to create wear resistant steel having the same hardness through the entire thickness of the steel, demands you accurately control the alloying chemistry with precise heat treating.

QT Plus Stacked

Doesn’t Every Steel Company Make Their Wear Plate Last As Long As JADCO QT-PLUS ® ?

The quick answer is No. Even though the attention to detail required at the steel mill in Pennsylvania is available to anyone. Yet most wear plate distributors choose to reduce the proper quantities and percentages of these essential alloying elements, just to get a lower selling price.

When you cut back on these critical alloys, wear life drops, and it is always the customer who suffers the most.

For over the last 44+ years JADCO has focused exclusively on delivering consistent, longer equipment life for our customers. 

We can deliver better results to our customers, because we think differently.  How? By strictly focusing on improving your current results.

Allow us to help you today by calling 724.452.5252, or email info@jadcomfg.com.
We will schedule a meeting with one of our local wear plate specialists at a time that best fits your schedule.

Remember, the only thing you have to lose by not working with JADCO, are your profits.
