About J2
J2 Resources was built on the simple idea that the industry deserves a distributor that does things the right way—with integrity, grit, and a true understanding of what customers need to keep their operations running. What started as a small, focused team has grown into a trusted partner for refineries, chemical plants, EPCs, OEMs, midstream operators, and contractors across the country. Today, J2 sources exclusively from approved, mill-direct manufacturers and maintains one of the strongest inventories of valves, fittings, flanges, specialty alloys, and project materials in the market. Backed by decades of experience, a relentless work ethic, and a team that truly knows the industry, J2 continues to raise the bar for reliability, responsiveness, and customer service.
Created to be the Resource and Advocate You Need
Established in December 2016, the revolutionary minds behind J2 Resources recognized there were numerous areas within the industrial distribution supply chain that needed vast improvement. Fueled by an innovative spirit, J2 Resources was created to be a resource and advocate for customers. At the core of our business, we ask one simple question: How does this bring value to our customers? Our mission is to consistently focus on customer satisfaction, building trust, loyalty and mutually beneficial relationships. Customers unlock boundless value with J2 Resources as we offer the unique combination of technical expertise, best-in-class technology and a streamlined supply chain process. Our transparent Direct Distribution model fuses buying directly from a manufacturer with the value of transacting with a distributor, removing redundancies and allowing customers to tap further upstream in the supply chain. J2 Resources is committed to providing high-quality products in an efficient manner, resulting in extensive cost savings for the customer.
