“We are thrilled to announce the addition of the Wright-Mix blending facility to JENNCHEM’s portfolio of industry leading products and services. The addition of a trusted, existing partner will greatly enhance our customer service and strengthen our ability to deliver J-SEAL® with the speed and efficiency our customers have come to expect,” said Tony Calandra, CEO of JENNMAR. “I would like to express our sincere thanks to Kendall and Shannon Wright for their support in ensuring a smooth transition.”
