The other day, I had the incredible opportunity to tour the Jasper Engines and Transmissions facility in Jasper, Indiana. I knew the company had a strong reputation, but I was completely floored by what I witnessed firsthand. This experience wasn’t just eye-opening for me—it was a game-changer for my customers as well.

My journey started early, at 4:30 AM on the 18th, as I boarded a private plane headed for Jasper. Little did I know that the trip would be worth every second. From the moment we landed, we were welcomed with smiles and enthusiasm from the entire team. Their pride in the company and their eagerness to share their knowledge was palpable, setting the tone for an incredible day.

The sheer size of the company and its facilities was nothing short of mind-blowing. We toured multiple buildings, and it quickly became clear that Jasper was a massive operation. Every employee we met along the way was eager to explain their work and why it mattered. We got to see transmissions being built, engines in various stages of assembly, rear differentials being worked on, and torque converters being cut apart and repaired. Watching these skilled workers in action was an incredible experience on its own.

One aspect that truly impressed me was their Research and Development (R&D) team. Jasper has split its R&D into specialized areas, and I could have easily spent the entire day just talking to them. Their passion for constant improvement and innovation is evident, and I learned so much from our conversations.

What sets Jasper apart is their commitment to understanding and addressing product failures. They have a dedicated team that meticulously dissects defective parts to uncover the root causes of failure. Their findings are then reported to another department, which reviews the entire build process of the affected product. This proactive approach ensures continuous improvement and helps them confidently stand behind their products.

I could go on for days about how impressive Jasper Engines and Transmissions is, but I’ll keep some of their secrets under wraps! Let me just say that working with them is money well spent. Their attention to detail, dedication to quality, and innovative approach mean they’ll continue to be our main supplier for the foreseeable future.

If you’re looking for a reliable partner for your engine and transmission needs, I can confidently say that Jasper delivers on all fronts. I left their facility with full faith in their products and processes, and I’m excited to bring this value to my customers.
