About EJ

EJ IS THE WORLD LEADER IN THE DESIGN, MANUFACTURE AND DISTRIBUTION OF ACCESS SOLUTIONS

EJ is the global leader in the design, manufacture, and distribution of access solutions for the world’s growing infrastructure. From water and sewer, to drainage, telecommunication, and utility projects, EJ has the solution to fit your project’s needs.

The EJ legacy dates back to 1883 when our first manufacturing facility was built in East Jordan, Michigan, USA. Decades later, we are now a global enterprise that spans six continents – promoting innovation, quality, and a commitment to customer service.

EXCEPTIONAL SOLUTIONS

OUR MISSION

We are a family-owned company supplying access solutions for the world’s infrastructure.

EJ is a family-owned company that has a long history of fostering strong customer relationships. As a family business, we have the freedom to exercise our family values, which have been carried down for generations, without compromise. This heritage is our charter, our compass, and our guide.

OUR VISION

The global leader in infrastructure access solutions

We have expanded and opened many additional branch operations across the U.S., while growing internationally to Europe, Asia, and Australia. Our commercial presence worldwide includes fifty sales offices, ten manufacturing facilities, several distribution hubs, and multiple research and development centers.

OUR VALUES

Our values, which have been passed down for generations, are the essence of our company’s identity, and our guide for making decisions. These values have provided us with a solid reputation, sustained us through difficult economies, and have allowed us to flourish during times of growth and prosperity. The core strength of our business is our dedicated employees – employees who embrace these values, understand the importance of relationships, and strive for excellence. Today, EJ continues to be 100% owned and operated by the fourth and fifth generations of the Malpass family. Many things have changed over the course of five generations, but one thing has not – our commitment to operating under the guidance of a clear set of values, and holding ourselves to the highest standards.
