Much more than that
We Provide Much More than Just
Color Concentrates and Performance Additives.
We collaborate with process engineers and plant managers to…
…ensure accurate color match.
…determine the right mix of performance additives.
…optimize letdown ratios.
…provide logistics and warehousing solutions.
…lend our 4 decades of plastics and color experience.
…give them at least one less thing to worry about.
Technical & Practical Expertise
Some might say we’re old.
But we prefer the word “experienced.”
At JEG, we have over 4 decades of experience and expertise in plastics and color.
Every day, our team uses that knowledge to help customers get the right color and additives for their processes, equipment, and end product.
And we’ll do the same to make sure you’re also getting exactly what you need.
But what if you’re not sure what you need?
Our team will collaborate with you, ask a bunch of questions, lean on our experts, and do the research necessary to help when you run into a challenge or are working to launch something new.
Let’s connect you with one of our plastics and color experts to help with any color, product performance, consistency, logistics, cost, operational, or other challenges you and your team are facing.
“Most of the time, our team knows exactly what we need. But on those occasions when we’re not sure, I call John at JEG. He either has the answer or can get me the answer.”

Thorough solutions
We ask a lot of questions
so we can be confident in our answers.
We’ll ask you questions about your manufacturing processes, equipment, base resin, end products, ordering frequency, warehousing capacity, and so much more.
Why do we ask all these questions?
- To make sure you’re getting color concentrates that work best in your application.
- To make sure you’re getting the right performance additives for the end use of your products.
- To make sure you’re getting these materials when you need them.
- And to make sure you’re getting it all at the best possible price.
Let’s get these questions started so we can make sure we’re providing you the most effective and cost-efficient solutions for your specific situation.
“We were pretty sure we knew what we needed, but thankfully, Dave and John started asking us a bunch of questions about our process and exactly what we were trying to accomplish. Not only did their suggested solution work better than what we were thinking, they were also able to save us a couple cents per pound.”

Quality Assurance
We do all the things you probably assume everyone does.
For Example:
- We provide color chips whenever mixing a custom color.
- We always recommend and enable our customers to conduct a sample run with all new colors – even stock colors.
- We collaborate with customers to create sample products, enable sample runs, and when appropriate, help design performance tests before we move forward with full production of any new masterbatch mixtures that include unique performance additives.
And here’s the big one…
- We QA test every batch of product – whether a stock color or custom color – to L*a*b* standards by spectrophotometer before it leaves manufacturing.
If you’re experiencing any inconsistent color or performance with your current partner, let’s talk.
“You can either do things the right way, or the wrong way. At JEG, we always choose the right way. It’s who we are. And what we do.”

Double Redundance
Our redundance is intentional.
And on purpose.
We have 3 manufacturing facilities and 2 distribution centers.
This built-in redundance helps us make sure you get the color concentrates and performance additives you need, when you need them, at the price you need them.
Let’s start a conversation so we can determine which combination of manufacturing and distribution options will be most beneficial for you and your company.
“We had a customer call us in a bind. They had just received a huge order, and they needed a much quicker turnaround on one of their custom colors. I got on the phone with our 3 manufacturing plants, figured out which one could get it produced most quickly, shipped it direct, and the customer had the product by the end of the next week. Plus, we manufactured an extra truckload at the same time to keep the price reasonable for them. The flexibility of 3 plants and 2 distribution centers repeatedly proves valuable for both our clients and us.”

Stock and Release
We’ll store and then ship your color
and additives where you need them. When you need them.
With our Stock & Release program, we can combine a few of your orders into one larger order so you can benefit from manufacturing efficiencies.
We’ll then ship you part of it, store the rest, and then over the next couple months, ship you the remainder of the order as you need it.
This program offers you both just-in-time inventory and delivery, and highly competitive pricing.
Obviously, there are order minimums (normally 10,000 pounds) and maximum time frames for delivery of product (normally 60 days). But we can be flexible.
Let’s talk to figure out if our Stock & Release program can improve your operation’s logistics and reduce your costs.
“At first, JEG seemed like a more expensive option. But when John recommended we consolidate orders and use their Stock & Release program, suddenly JEG was not only the best price, but the best overall option because of how they were able to simplify our ordering, logistics, and inventory.”

Logistics and Warehousing
The right color. The right additives. All delivered to the right places. Right on time.
While we’re obviously focused on developing and manufacturing masterbatches with the color concentrates and performance additives you need, we’re just as committed to making sure your product is where you need it, when you need it.
With our 3 manufacturing facilities, 2 distribution centers, multiple shipping partners, and 4 decades of experience, we’re able to efficiently and economically meet even the most challenging of logistical challenges.
Got a tricky one? Let’s talk.
“We started looking for a new color and additive company because we had become frustrated with our old supplier’s inconsistent delivery and slow response. And I’m so glad we included JEG in our search. Their deliveries always show up when promised.”

A Fair Price
We don’t compete on price. But we are very competitively priced.
In fact, on more than one occasion, we’ve had customers ask us how we’re able to price things as low as we do.
The answer is both simple and a little complicated.
The simple part is that we believe in treating people fairly.
- We’re privately owned and make our own decisions.
- We keep both our overhead and margins low.
- And we refuse to exploit our customers.
The slightly more complicated reasons are all connected to our experience and commitment to finding the best solution for each customer. And that starts with asking our clients and ourselves questions like:
- Can you combine orders?
- Can we look at a quarter or a year’s worth of supply instead of just this month’s?
- Can we consolidate your shipments?
- What are your warehousing capabilities for input materials?
- Can we look at alternative packing and shipping containers?
- Would you benefit from our Stock & Release program?
- Which of our manufacturing facilities can provide the lowest cost?
- Which distribution center will prove most efficient?
And even when we don’t have the lowest price, we consistently provide the best value.
Curious how our price compares to your current supplier? Let’s talk.
“Every once in a while, a potential customer will just ask us to give them a quote with virtually no information beyond how many pounds they need. Sometimes – if it’s a stock color – we can do that. But even then, when they’ll talk with us for a bit, explain what they really need, and let us ask a few questions, we can almost always provide a better price and greater value.”

A True Partnership
We are fully committed to your success. And not just because our success is dependent on it.
Yes, satisfied customers lead to repeat customers.
And as our customers grow, so do the size of their orders.
All of that is great.
But the real reason we’re committed to our customers’ success is that we care.
We care about each customer’s business.
And we care about them as people.
We want you to succeed.
We want you to meet your growth goals.
We want you to become a long-term customer who orders more from us each year.
We’d love for you to become our biggest client.
But if you don’t grow…
If your order size goes down a little…
If you never become our biggest client…
That’s alright.
We’re still here to help you.
Because we give a damn.
If you want to start experiencing what it’s like to have a true partner – instead of just a transactional vendor – Let’s chat.
“We buy color and additives from JEG. But we get so much more. John and his team are clearly committed to doing whatever they can to help us succeed. It’s not just great products and great prices. It’s also their attention to details and service. We’ve worked with them for decades, and I see no reason to ever change that.”
