Pertronix acquires JBA Headers and Performance Exhaust.

    Pertronix Inc. has recently acquired the assets of JBA Performance Exhaust. Pertronix has been a leading supplier for over 40 years in the electronic ignition business serving the automotive performance, industrial, and agricultural and marine markets. Pertronix’s exhaust division began in 2000 after acquiring Ermie Immerso Enterprises (Thunderbird Products). The Patriot brand was added in 2001 to cover the company’s growing line of street rod and muscle car exhaust products. Pertronix also added Doug’s Headers in January 2005. Long thought of as a premier header line, Doug’s Headers has become an excellent addition to the company’s brands and product offerings with a wide selection of muscle car headers and C.A.R.B. approved applications for the truck, SUV, and motorhome markets.

    JBA has been a cutting edge exhaust development and manufacturing company for over 22 years, leading the industry in header and exhaust products designs for late-model emissions-controlled vehicles. Pertronix plans a robust advertising and marketing effort to leverage demand for the JBA line through their existing performance parts distribution system. An investment increase in finished goods inventory, products development, and an integration of both company’s manufacturing techniques and facilities along with a teaming of the people “assets” will improve order fill rates and guarantee a rapid flow of new products.
