Jet Incorporated of Cleveland, Ohio designs and manufactures onsite wastewater treatment systems and commercial package plant equipment for treating biological wastewater from homes, communities, and commercial facilities. The company exports control panels, pumps, compressors, pipes, motors, and plastic tanks that are used for treating domestic biological wastewater. The treated water can then be reused for irrigation, industrial processes, or replenishing ground water. Of Jet’s 32 employees, 5 jobs are directly related to exports, with sales to 33 countries including TPP partner Mexico, Thailand, the Philippines, the UAE, and parts of East Africa.

Export revenue increased sales and allowed Jet to add staff during the economic downturn. International sales account for about 25 percent of the firm’s business, with a year-over-year growth in the 20-plus percent range. Jet exports a variety of goods that could benefit from reduced tariffs under the TPP and the WTO Environmental Goods Agreement.
