Business Plan

Introduction

JTB Technologies, Inc. will be located in Richfield, Louisiana. This location is very close to the I-82 corridor, providing excellent access to the Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas industrial markets. JTB management acquired its roots in the industrial marketplace while managing RL&I Tool and Machine, Inc., a privately held corporation that operated in Missouri for over twenty-five years. Further experience was also acquired while managing RL&I's industrial supply division of RL&I Tool and Machine. Eventually the Missouri Corporation was closed and the management shown in this plan relocated here to Louisiana. Prior to leaving Missouri, Technical Marketing Technologies LLC, a spin-off of the Missouri based corporation was established, and operates as a sole proprietorship here in Louisiana. With our roots firmly planted in the Industrial marketplace, JTB will provide Industrial and Commercial Tools, Safety Products, and Engineered Sales expertise.

The primary partners in this plan are responsible for all phases of business and product development with special emphasis on bringing the latest Machining and Computer design into the business. With our roots firmly planted in the products and services market, JTB will provide Industrial and Commercial Tools, Re-manufacturing Services and engineering expertise acquired over the last twenty-five years while working with the following business types:

Automotive - Automotive repair, and Auto body industry.

Automotive - Auto Makers, and their support industries.

Primary Metals - Machining Industry - Turbine, Valve, Specialty Manufacturers, and Machining industries.

Sporting Goods Industry - Sporting Goods manufacturers, and Services industries.

In addition to providing these clients with industrial products, JTB will also provide technical expertise, engineering assistance and all types of outsourced industrial services (Gary, 1994, pp.22).
