State Sen. Pam Helming recently visited Jrlon, Inc. at its headquarters in Palmyra to meet with company leadership and learn more about its growth, workforce development, and continued investment in the region.
During the tour, Helming spoke with owners and chief operating officers Brandon Redmond and Chad Redmond about the family-owned company’s expansion plans and its role as a major local employer. The visit underscored the importance of supporting manufacturers that are choosing to grow and stay in Upstate New York.
Founded in the 1950s, Jrlon produces specialized plastic and metal components used in a range of industries, including aerospace, transportation, medical devices, energy, and other advanced technologies. The company has expanded through multiple generations of family leadership and now employs nearly 200 people.

“Family-owned manufacturers like Jrlon are the backbone of our regional economy,” Helming said. “They create good-paying careers, drive innovation, and prove that world-class products can be made right here at home. Jrlon represents the very best of New York manufacturing and shows why it is so important to keep opportunity and investment in our state. I remain committed to advancing policies that help manufacturers grow, compete, and succeed for generations to come.”
