JB Poindexter & Co (JBPCO) initially began as an investment partnership with John B. Poindexter and fellow partners, whose goals evolved from the realization of capital gains to the achievement of long-term growth. Initial acquisitions in the manufacturing and automotive spaces would lay the foundation for an enterprise led by household names in each respective industry working together to benefit one another.

Having a Certified Veteran’s Business Enterprise (VBE) is important for JB Poindexter & Co (JBPCO) and especially its CEO and Chairman John B. Poindexter — who volunteered for the U.S. Army and Officer Candidate School following his undergraduate education.
JBPCO became a certified Veteran’s Business Enterprise (VBE) from the National Veteran-Owned Business Association (NaVOBA) in September 2020. A VBE certification is nationally recognized as the gold standard for veteran-owned businesses. This paved the way to directly develop relationships and conduct business with other companies across the U.S. looking to work with a business that wasn’t only veteran-owned, but one that emphasized employing veterans as well.
With such an extensive military background, Poindexter has made recruiting veterans at JBPCO a priority, recognizing the skills and experiences they bring, even partnering with RecruitMilitary to reach more veterans.
Poindexter volunteered for service in the Republic of South Vietnam, receiving two Purple Hearts, two Silver Stars, the Soldier’s Medal, two Bronze Stars, the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Silver Star and other decorations for service and valor.
In 2009, the Presidential Unit Citation – the nation’s highest decoration for a combat unit – was conferred on Poindexter’s Vietnam command, Alpha Troop, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment for their extraordinary bravery and heroism. The granting of the decoration was commemorated in a nationally televised ceremony in the Rose Garden of the White House addressed by President Barack Obama.
JBPCO has made significant strides over the course of its history to create a more sustainable environment. JBPCO utilizes the award-winning ERA Environmental Management System to help quantify and reduce emissions use, on top of an increased effort on recycling paper, cardboard, plastics, metals and other materials.
