Atlantic Management Advises Jack More Associates On ESOP
December 19, 2005

Atlantic Management Company, Inc. is pleased to announce that the Jack Moore Associates Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust has acquired an interest in Jack Moore Associates, Inc. of Worcester, MA. Atlantic Management Company, Inc. served as independent appraiser to the trustees of the ESOP and assisted in structuring the transaction.


Jack Moore Associates (JMA) was founded in May of 1974 to sell powder-actuated fasteners, hand held power tools, abrasives and diamond products.  Since 1974, the company has developed several product lines and related services under the JMA umbrella:

Quik-Set:  Since 1978, Quik-Set products have been sold throughout the United States by industrial and construction fastener distributors.  Quik-Set is a recognized brand within this industry, and the company has been a leader in the interchange fit program, which means that Quik-Set distributors have tools and fasteners to fit all the popular construction fastening systems, such as: Hilti®, Ramset®, Red Head®, etc.

Prime:  In 1988 JMA formed the Prime Sawing & Drilling Services division. 

Moore Printing & Graphics:  Because of the great volume of printing done by JMA, the company formed a division called Moore Printing & Graphics.

Training:  In 2004, Rhode Island passed legislation dictating that that anyone entering a state funded construction site had to have received a 10-hour OSHA training card, and it is felt that other states may pass similar legislation.  To meet this need, and when working with safety officers for large construction firms, JMA employees have been trained and are credentialed as OSHA outreach trainers.  And today, JMA trainers conduct paid courses for local contractors.
