JIT Industries

What JIT Industries does

JIT Industries is a full-service fluid power solutions provider headquartered in Hartselle, Alabama, founded in 2001 by Ginger McComb and Matt McComb as a local hydraulic repair shop. The company designs, manufactures, and repairs hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders for industrial customers across the wood products, steel and aluminum, aerospace, oil and gas, power generation, and pulp and paper sectors. Operating seven specialized facilities across Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee (including a 144,000 sq. ft. plant in Columbus, MS), the business has completed 31,000+ projects for 6,000+ customers over 25 years.

JIT Industries monetizes through quote-based direct sales across six integrated revenue streams: custom and standard cylinder manufacturing (NFPA tie-rod, H/LH/MH hydraulic series, A/MA pneumatic series, and custom designs up to 65-inch bore and 15,000 psi, with certain standard configurations shippable in as little as three hours), 24/7 emergency fluid power repair services, precision CNC machining for components up to 50,000 lbs, industrial hard chrome plating up to 23 feet in length via the Precision Plating subsidiary acquired in 2026, engineering and R&D services (reverse engineering, FEA simulation, additive manufacturing of fluid power components, and custom test stands with data logging), and on-site preventive maintenance and field service contracts. Pricing is non-public and quote-driven, with standard cylinder lead times of 4–6 business days. Distribution is direct via the company's own delivery fleet across the Southeast US.

The go-to-market is sales-led with a small but differentiated digital layer: a 3D CAD Cylinder Configurator that produces instant pricing for custom cylinders, a customer application form for onboarding, downloadable product catalogs, and a modest social and email marketing presence. Technical differentiation rests on large-format manufacturing and machining capacity, vertically integrated plating and machining capabilities, and advanced engineering services including additive manufacturing and FEA. Sub-brands include JIT Plating (industrial chrome plating), JIT Military Sales (defense and government fluid power), and JIT Cares (a charitable initiative). The company holds HUBZone, CMMC Level 1, MBE, Women Owned, NFPA, and JCP certifications and was named 2026 SBA Alabama Small Manufacturer of the Year.
