1 Chronicles 4:9-10
"Jabez was more honorable than his brothers; and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, "Because I bore him in pain." Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain!" And God granted what he asked.
About Jabezco
History
The Story of Jabezco – How We Became
Jabezco Industrial Group, Inc. was formed in the summer of 2001 by four men with a dream who shared a common professional interest in construction, but more importantly, shared the same passion of creating a Christ-centered company that did business different than most. The principals formed Jabezco to be an industrial service provider specializing in industrial equipment installations and all support applications that are prerequisite for such installations. By creating alliances with key engineering groups, Jabezco can also offer such services ranging from complete design services to lean manufacturing planning and implementation. Thus, Jabezco is positioned to bring its clients a variety of professional services.
However, the real story is not what we do but who we are and what we are about. The founders were introduced to each other as co-employees of a contractor in Jackson, Tennessee. It was while employed with this company that these four, along with a couple of other employees, began a weekly Bible study and prayer group and they soon realized their unique bond and passion to serve our Lord. It was also during this Bible study time the group was introduced to Jabez (I Chronicles 4:9-10), a descendant of Judah. Jabez asked the Lord for four specific requests: to be blessed, to expand his territories, God’s hand to be with him, and to keep him from harm. And “God granted his request!”
After a series of corporate events and circumstances, it was evident this core group would not remain together and would most likely be split. As a result, and upon what we felt as God’s calling, the principals formed a new company. At the very heart of our corporate identity are our requests:
- to be blessed and for us to be a blessing to those with whom we come in contact
- for our territory to be enlarged so that everyone who is involved with this company has the opportunity to see God
- that God’s hand be with us – our employees and their families – so as to guide, direct and lead our efforts
- to be kept from harm – that is, our employees and their families would be kept safe both at work and away from work
As a result of this study and because of the value of these truths, the new company was named Jabezco Industrial Group, Inc.

JABEZCO INDUSTRIAL GROUP is committed to providing employees with a safe and healthful workplace. It is the policy of this organization that employees report unsafe conditions and do not perform work tasks if the work is considered unsafe. Employees must report all accidents, injuries, and unsafe conditions to their supervisors. No such report will result in retaliation, penalty, or other disincentive. However, failure to report an accident, injury, or unsafe condition could result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.
Employee recommendations to improve safety and health conditions will be given thorough consideration by our management team. Similarly, management will take disciplinary action against an employee who willfully or repeatedly violates workplace safety rules. This action may include verbal or written reprimands and may ultimately result in termination of employment.
Safety Management begins with Top Management accepting the responsibility to provide visible support and involvement by:
- Assigning safety responsibilities to individuals.
- Communicating a clear goal for the safety program.
- Commit the necessary personnel with enforcement authority and resources to ensure employee safety.
