THREE decades may seem like a blink in the grand scheme, but for Jmar Engineering, it’s a testament to their commitment to innovation and excellence. Founded in 1994 by Mark and Janice Hooper, Jmar carved a niche in the heart of the Goulburn Valley, becoming a leading force in design and component manufacturing for agribusiness, food processing, and irrigation.
Jmar’s story begins humbly, blossoming from a dream that Mark and Janice nurtured on April 1, 1994, in a Mariem Street workshop in Shepparton. Today, it’s a thriving family business employing 16 individuals, some of whom have been by their side for a remarkable 25 years – a true testament to the company’s culture and values.
Adaptation and a relentless pursuit of progress have been the cornerstones of Jmar’s success. From pioneering the use of fibre laser cutting for precise component production to embracing robotic welding, they’ve consistently pushed the boundaries of their field. This dedication to staying ahead of the curve is further exemplified by their signature products.
To celebrate this 30-year anniversary, you can find a special 16-page lift out detailing their progression and unwavering commitment to quality, innovation and community on pages 13-28.
Jmar’s success isn’t solely measured in machinery or innovation. Community has always been paramount for Mark and Janice. They firmly believe that strong relationships – with employees, suppliers, and customers – are the lifeblood of their longevity. This dedication to fostering connections shines through in every aspect of their business.
