Janco was founded in 1993 by Ron Jansen. Prior to founding Janco, Ron owned and operated Star Auto Company, a truck repair and equipment shop in Sully, dating back to the 1970s.

1990s

Janco’s start came when Ron purchased Pella Industries and started out recovering husking rolls for the seed corn industry. After four years, the company began work in the metal fabrication industry by offering welding services. In 1998, Ron and Joel purchased the company’s first laser.

2000

Ron retired and sold both of his businesses to his sons. Janco continued the company’s tradition of superior contract manufacturing.

In August of 2010, Janco co-purchased Handy Industries, LLC, located in Marshalltown, Iowa. Handy manufactures motorcycle/ATV/UTV lifts, louvered tailgates, shop equipment, and accessories, and has prided itself in American-made products since 1964. Janco now owns and manufactures the entire Handy product line.

An explosion in Janco’s Sully plant caused a devastating fire that consumed the welding and saw departments.
