History
Jabil is founded in 1966 by William Morean
and James Golden in Detroit, MI. Jabil's earliest
work was the manual assembly of replacement circuit boards for
Control Data. The name Jabil originated with the founders'
first names, a combination of James and Bill.
In 1976, Jabil wins a large contract with
General Motors by developing a customized, highly automated production
process. The project is one of the first turnkey projects in
the country and establishes the company as a major player in
the EMS industry.
In 1982, Jabil would build a new manufacturing
facility and headquarters in St. Petersburg, FL.
