About J-B Weld
The J-B Weld Company was founded in 1969 by Sam and Mary Bonham. Sam had discovered a need for a “cold weld” product to use in his truck service garage, instead of traditional torch welding. Working with a Texas A&M chemist, he formulated an original “tougher than steel” two-part epoxy and named it J-B Weld. Sam and Mary soon went from selling the product out of their car to auto parts jobbers across Texas, to selling it in stores throughout the U.S. and internationally.
In 2008 the company was purchased by a group of private investors. The product line has also been broadened to meet the changing needs of customers, including new adhesives for metal, wood, plastic, and general purpose use.
Today, J-B Weld is recognized as a global leader in ultra high-strength epoxies, sealants and adhesives for a wide range of applications from home DIY to professional workshops and large scale industrial projects.
From products that bond steel, concrete, brick, plastics, composite, ceramics and porcelain, wood and so much more, and products that will set and cure underwater or tolerate extreme heat or vibrations, J-B Weld has what you need to get the job done.
In South Africa, J-B Weld is proudly represented by Keizin Automotive, exclusive importer and distributor of the complete range.
