People

In 1914 Earle Jorgensen tore out the title of a magazine article that said “Hustle – That’s All!” and put it in his wallet. Today those words remain, on signs in our buildings and in the hearts and actions of the people who today make EMJ the only metals distributor offering an ‘On Time, Or Free’ delivery guarantee. There is no substitute for experience, and with an average tenure over 15 years, our people maintain consistent, long-term relationships that help us understand your business, and how to support it.
