Our Symbol

The eagle’s vision is legendary. It sees detail that others don’t, often from afar. It has the ability to focus on large and small opportunities with equal dexterity and commitment.


The eagle is equally at home on solid ground, or soaring at great altitudes to where it rises above all else. From high above it can see the big picture, and study its surrounds for opportunities and threats.

Eagles are known for their strength and intelligence. Yet they never abuse these qualities. They will hunt their prey, protect their families and defend their territory with skill and total commitment. They have a special ability to interpret their surrounds, and to position themselves to take advantage of opportunities.

These qualities are, what inspire us at JB Switchgear. We want to be visionary, to rise above our competition, and to establish ourselves as a strong and respected player in the market. We want to be… The Eagle
