JET Equipment was born in 1958 when the founder of the company, Leslie P. Sussman, took the first Boeing jet airplane trip from Seattle, WA to Japan.
JET began as a small dealer of manual chain hoists and trolleys; sold from a single hardware store in Tacoma, Washington. Over the years, JET has carried everything from electric chain hoists to air hoists. Beginning in the 1970s, JET introduced a full line of industrial air tools and material handling products that included paving breakers and backfill tampers and forklifts
By the early 1980s, as JET continued to grow, metalworking products became the core business line. And five short years later, JET launched its woodworking product category rounding out the largest breadth of product categories under one brand. JET pioneered the import business by working with overseas suppliers. JET is proud to say they still do business with one of their original suppliers. In the 1990s, JET grew from being just an importer of high-quality machines and tools to designing and manufacturing its own products to stringent specifications.
