What Does JPW Stand For? Part 3 of 3

JPW's Three Founders standing together

W is for Tim Wagner

If you have ever done business with JPW Industrial Ovens & Furnaces, you would know that JPW stands for providing a well-built quality oven that will satisfy your needs in a cost-effective manner. What you may not know, is what the actual letters “JPW” stand for.

12 years ago, three coworkers in the industrial oven industry set out to start their own business, naming the company after themselves – Mike Jameson, Mike Paternostro, and Tim Wagner. It is their last names that form the initials “JPW”. This month, we provide you with an inside look at Tim Wagner, Co-Founder of JPW Industrial Ovens and Furnaces.

Tim Wagner started JPW alongside of Mike Jameson and Mike Paternostro in 2004. Similar to Jameson, Wagner came to JPW from years of experience on the shop floor, helping lay the high-quality foundations that support the business today.

Wagner is a multi-faceted partner of JPW who has helped craft the business with his expertise in fabricating, mechanical engineering and painting. He now serves as a strategic partner with Jameson and Paternostro, providing valuable input and leadership to the company.

JPW has served the industrial oven industry across the United States because of the vision of its three founding members, Mike Jameson, Mike Paternostro and Tim Wagner. To inquire about JPW’s industrial ovens or to set up a tour of the facility, contact the office.


On-Site Visit to JPW Seals the Deal for Client

JPW recently provided a modified ST101028 for an Ohio company specializing in various forms of commercial finishing. The purchase of this oven for JPW’s client will allow them to increase production and provide better service to their customers.

The ST101028 was engineered as a 10ft by 10ft by 28ft long 500F gas oven, capable of uniformly heating the chamber to +/- 10F at 500F.

With several other industrial oven manufacturers in the state of Ohio, what would bring a business owner to travel 7 hours to the JPW headquarters in Pennsylvania and place an order the same day? It was the quality of JPW’s engineering that set their ovens apart from the competitor. The high quality construction of JPW’s ovens was visually so obvious upon visiting JPW’s facility the client placed an order for the ST101028 the very same day.
