About

JIMCO was founded in 2005 when we took over select operations at a large chemical manufacturing facility in Savannah, Georgia

Our projects initially involved gypsum plant sales and operations, dredging, filter press operations and site security. We later increased our scope of work to include Ore recovery operations, railcar cleaning and other site services. Subsequently, JIMCO expanded to Hamilton, Mississippi to perform similar services and into Mobile, Alabama, to manage a wastewater treatment facility.

In 2008, JIMCO diversified into the bulk transloading business at Norfolk Southern’s Dillard yard near the Savannah port.
In 2009, we entered into agreements with a major tire manufacturer to manage tire maintenance at 11 Metro Transit Authorities around the country.
In 2017, we completed a significant expansion and modernization of a transload facility in Savannah.

Today, JIMCO has more than 100 employees at our various locations.
