Jo-Kell has over 300 years of combined inside and outside sales experience in the industrial, military, and commercial marine markets. Our outside sales engineers and inside product managers are the cornerstone of the Jo-Kell sales team. All are experienced veterans of industrial and commercial marine product distribution. Factory, Internet, and in-house product training keep our sales staff current with our customers' needs and new product developments of our vendors.

In addition to developing our commercial marine, military, and high-technology distribution markets, Jo-Kell includes value-added services and a systems integration design and panel shop. Our shop currently provides engineering services, assembly, and repairs of all types of motor controls and control systems. Our capabilities also include start-up and 24-hour field service.
