ER Jahna Industries

What ER Jahna Industries does

E.R. Jahna Industries, Inc. is a privately-held, family-owned construction aggregate producer incorporated in 1950 and headquartered in Lake Wales, Florida. The company mines and processes washed, classified sand through hydraulic cutter-head dredging at six operating locations: Green Bay, Haines City, Independent North, Independent South, and Ortona in Florida, plus the Savannah Sand and Gravel Mine in Georgia. Its product portfolio includes Mason Sand, Commercial Concrete Sand, FDOT/GDOT-certified sand, Wellpoint Sand, and beach-compatible sand for coastal renourishment — all produced under CMEC-accredited quality control with weekly published product reports. The Ortona deposit, exceeding 180 feet in depth, and the ~10,000-acre Green Bay reserve footprint underscore a resource base designed for decades of supply.

The company's core technology stack centers on hydraulic dredging, in-pit classifying plants, and reverse-air drill prospecting supported by an in-house Prospecting Lab for grain-size and color analysis. Wholly-owned subsidiaries include S&R Logistics (captive hauling, est. 1975), Savannah Sand Company, and Cabbage Grove Mining Co. (limestone). Distribution occurs through direct pickup at mine scalehouses, S&R Logistics, and a registered independent hauler program, with credit terms (Net 30) available to approved commercial accounts.

Commercially, E.R. Jahna sells primarily via direct, sales-led relationships to construction contractors, concrete product manufacturers, government and municipal buyers (including for beach renourishment projects such as the 900,000-ton Broward County delivery in 2015), golf courses, and specialty aggregate buyers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company holds FDOT, GDOT, MSHA, CMEC, and Army Corps of Engineers certifications, and is currently in its fourth generation of family ownership, with CEO Sam Morrone (since 2018) leading professional management alongside family principals Emil R. Jahna III (VP), Jim Jahna (CFO/SVP), and Adell Jahna (VP Sales & Marketing).
