John A. Moisson Jr., founder of Jamplast, Inc., graduated from the University of Tennessee with a B.S.B.A. emphasizing Marketing and Distribution. After graduation he immediately began a career with Dow Chemical Corporation. During his 12 year tenure, Moisson was closely involved with the organization’s distribution, sales, and marketing departments. This experience gave the pre-entrepreneur extensive knowledge of the plastics industry. Not only did Moisson gain an understanding of how the industry functioned—he also came to recognize its opportunities. Jamplast, Inc. was founded in May 1994. The company was created as a thermoplastics distributor to service various North American plastic processing manufacturers, including molders, extruders, compounders and rotomolders. Jamplast began relationships with large petrochemical producers and custom compounders to source prime, custom compounded, wide-specification, and scrap thermoplastic materials. Jamplast leased space for inventory in four warehouses during the first year of its operation. Moisson and his wife, Carolyn, were the company’s only employees until May of 1997, when they decided to move the company to St. Louis, Missouri. Since 1997, Jamplast has experienced rapid growth and dynamic development. The company currently leases warehousing space in distribution centers coast to coast, which allows its account executives to represent and offer Jamplast products in all regions of the United States.
