JWF Industries' story began 30 years ago in the back of a pick-up truck owned by John Polacek Sr., Johnny’s Welding, in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Today the manufacturer has grown to over $100 million in sales, a 1.1 million square foot facility, and employs over 400 people in the Johnstown community. In 1987, Bill Polacek bought Johnny’s Welding from his mother after John Sr. passed and started building the Johnstown Welding and Fabrication Company, renamed JWF Industries in 2001.

John Polacek Jr. joined his brother, Bill, in 2007, and they begin diversifying as a prime contractor, JWF Defense Systems, for the U.S. Department of Defense. Always the innovators, the brothers also filled a need for the oil and gas industry. In 2011, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) mandated new drilling regulations for the Marcellus and Utica Shale formations, and in 2011 ETC (Environmental Tank and Container) of Pennsylvania, a new division of JWF Industries, developed above-ground containment transport vehicles. Since that time, ETC has expanded their operations into Texas after purchasing PCI Manufacturing Solutions in Sulpher Springs, Texas, in 2019.

JWF Industries' formula for success lies in finding what the customer needs and growing and changing to meet those needs while allowing their people to succeed in a culture promoting: honesty and integrity; uncompromising quality, value, and service; a safe working environment that protects and promotes the health and well being of the individual and the environment; and responsible stewards of their communities.
