Showcasing JohnDow Industries: Trusted Automotive Service Equipment at JB Tools

JohnDow Industries has been a cornerstone in the automotive aftermarket industry for over 35 years, delivering high-quality, innovative repair shop products with exceptional service and support. Their commitment to understanding and meeting the needs of automotive professionals has solidified their reputation as a trusted partner in the industry. ​

Company History

The origins of JohnDow Industries trace back to 1980 when William “Bill” Downing, a manufacturer's representative in the automotive aftermarket, acquired a small warehouse in Barberton, Ohio. Initially operating under the name Mr. Concentrate, the company focused on concentrated chemicals like windshield washer solvent and other cleaning products. Downing later partnered with Cleave Johnson, combining their names (Johnson and Downing) to rename the company JohnDow Industries Inc. (JDI). 

In its early years, JohnDow Industries expanded by selling interior protection products such as seat covers, steering wheel covers, and floor mats to independent repair shops. The company's significant growth occurred in the early 1990s when Firestone and Goodyear sought solutions to comply with an EPA mandate to replace inground oil storage tanks. This led to the development of aboveground used oil storage systems, marking a pivotal moment in the company's evolution.

Today, JohnDow Industries operates through three primary divisions, each catering to specific needs within the automotive industry:
