Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is encapsulated in four words: "Commitment to Customer Satisfaction"
This commitment translates into diligent efforts on our part to provide our customers with quality products and services, which means goods that don’t come back, and customers who do”. By this commitment we seek to expand our customer base by developing new customers, we seek to contribute to the enrichment of human experience, and by this commitment we also seek to quicken the process of human progress.

To achieve our vision, JMTC’s 370 multi-talented staff are equipped with leadership and technical skills at all levels in the organization through open cultures; staff are encouraged to be innovative, effective, and competent in discharging their duties.
The term survival is compatible with new growth; survival without life is a contradiction in terms. We believe that growth is not only desirable but essential. “Grow or die” is an accepted axiom. Through the years, as a result of continually improving upon our distinctive competence in giving practical meaning to our philosophy of customer satisfaction, we have grown in stature and status.
