Bob Brossia, the originator of Jerl, adds, "I'm just a past farmer," while sporting his trademark plaid shirt and blue jeans. After having some issues with his previous employer's management, Bob pooled his resources in 1973 and bought a mill, a lathe, and a small shop. Bob was successful in giving hundreds of workers a safe, family-like environment over the course of the following 47+ years. Bob's unwavering dedication to excellence made Jerl Machine a dependable source for precision machining and bespoke metal fabrication. Bob has created something truly remarkable here for many people with his outstanding work ethic, ethics, and compassion.

Today, you can spot Bob wandering about the store, lending a helping hand or sharing a cup of coffee with a seasoned worker.
