What Jasper Engine Exchange does

JASPER Engines & Transmissions (legal name: Jasper Engine & Transmission Exchange, Inc.) is the nation's largest remanufacturer of powertrain components, founded in 1942 in Jasper, Indiana and operating today as a 100% employee-owned company (ESOP) under Jasper Holdings, Inc. The company remanufactures gas engines, diesel engines, automatic and standard transmissions, differentials, marine products (sterndrives, outboard lower units, inboard marine engines), turbochargers and fuel components, and electric motors. Core technical differentiators include a 50-hour runability test on all gas engines, dynamometer testing of transmissions and complete diesel engines under varying loads, and a suite of precision machining processes — align honing, torque-plate honing, two-stage honing (notably for Cummins), and three-angle valve seat machining — designed to meet or exceed OEM tolerances. The company operates five primary manufacturing/distribution facilities in Indiana and Missouri and a Kingman, Arizona distribution center serving West Coast customers.

JASPER sells through a multi-channel model: a national installer network of independent automotive repair shops (supported by a 50%-reimbursement co-op advertising program, technical seminars, factory tours, and free marketing materials), a direct fleet sales motion with dedicated support teams and JASPER's own delivery fleet, 53 branch and distributor locations providing overnight exchange availability on 500+ differential models, and procurement partnerships including Sourcewell (government/public sector) and cbCharge (fleet credit accounts). Pricing is quote-based via an online catalog and phone consultation; products carry a 3 year/100,000 mile nationwide transferable warranty on gas engines/transmissions and up to 2 years unlimited mileage on diesels, with an optional Premium Service Plan add-on. Customer mix spans individual vehicle owners, commercial fleet operators, independent repair shops, marine operators, and — for technology development — NASCAR Sprint Cup and Xfinity Series teams.

The business is anchored by $1 billion in disclosed revenue across 4,300+ associate-owners and has expanded via serial acquisitions (Weller Truck Parts 2014, Diesel USA Group May 2019, D&W Diesel October 2021, Jer-Den Plastics October 2022), each brought under the Jasper Holdings umbrella. Marketing combines NASCAR and professional bass fishing sponsorships, a 98-video content library, monthly newsletters dating back to 2000, and digital channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram) alongside the Find an Installer SEO tool. Awards include three PERA Remanufacturer of the Year honors (unprecedented), Verizon Supplier Excellence Award (2006), VPP Star Safety re-certification, BBB accreditation, and Forbes Best Employer recognition.
