Our Vision

At FORJAK Industrial, we aim to be the most trusted construction and protective coatings partner in the U.S. We deliver safety, service, innovation, and value—while creating real opportunities for our team. FORJAK was founded in 2001 by Adam Logan in Circleville, Ohio. From day one, the mission has been to build something lasting, where the people doing the work are also the ones who benefit from it.

That’s why in 2022, FORJAK became an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan), giving everyone who works here a hand in the success and shares in it too! We back each other up, do the job right, and build a future we can all be proud of.
