Jacobs Vehicle Systems uses collaboration, name recognition, and an expanding global footprint to spur growth
“Before joining Jacobs, all I ever knew about the Jake Brake was: sometimes you’re driving down a hill on the highway and you hear the engine noise of a big truck braking. But, as I’ve come to learn the business over the last six months, I am now comforted when I hear that sound while driving on the highway with my family. In addition, I have learned that Jacobs Vehicle Systems is much more than just an engine braking company. Along with being the world leader in engine braking technology, Jacobs is also deeply involved with emission improvement technologies,” explains Dennis Gallagher, President of Jacobs Vehicle Systems who was excited to recently join the team at Jacobs and make the challenging move from industrial automation into the commercial vehicle industry.
Of course, with the worldwide recognition of the Jake Brake®—an engine retarder that provides safety for heavy-duty trucks while also reducing emissions and saving wear and tear on friction brakes—clearly there are plenty of others around the world who get that same sense of security when hearing one of the company’s engine retarding systems in action.
With over 57 years in the business, Jacobs Vehicle Systems has a great amount of domain knowledge and a very strong IP portfolio which gives it a competitive edge. The company has found a successful combination of innovation, collaboration, and expansion that led it to a record-breaking year in 2017.
Supply Chain Partnerships
Decades in the industry have allowed Jacobs to form invaluable partnerships with the businesses in its supply chain, most of whom are long-term suppliers and valued partners, together creating a mutually beneficial environment. Both Jacobs and its partners have a great understanding of the product life cycle.
