Jamco
America
Keeps it Real with
Consistency and Performance
By Jennifer Ferrero, APR
T
he term “jam” can mean many things — crushing fruit, an im-
promptu performance by jazz musicians, to squeeze or wedge tightly
between surfaces — or it can be short for Jamaica. In this case, the
term Jamco was created over 40 years ago in Japan and from the 1950s
era company, Japan Aircraft Maintenance Company.
Company spokesperson, Michael Yeates, senior sales manager, said
that the name was officially changed to Jamco Corporation in 1988.
The company has locations in Japan, Singapore, and Everett, Wash-
ington. Annual revenue for Jamco America is $190 million and is
approaching $1 billion for Jamco Corporation. Jamco America has
doubled in size over the last decade with the introduction of premium
class seating products.
