History
The Jahna family has been mining sand in some capacity since the early 1900’s but it was the vision and hard work of Emil Jahna Jr. that formed the company as we know it today. Working with his father in the concrete products and mining business as a child and young adult, he took that experience and went on to build a business of his own in the mid 1940’s. Learn more

Sand Runs Through Our Veins
Since the early 1900's, the Jahna family has been mining sand in some capacity.
Now on our fifth generation of Floridians, E.R. Jahna Industries, much like the Jahna family, set down its roots in Central Florida back in the 1920’s.
The entire network of operations are directed from our corporate office conveniently located in the Downtown Lake Wales Historic District. In addition to our operating mines scattered throughout the state, Jahna maintains thousands of acres of mining reserves in current and future growth areas.....your assurance that quality Jahna products will always be close at hand.
The value is in location, location, location. And ours is always close to yours.

Reclaiming
We take our stewardship of the land very seriously and are proud of the positive impact we’ve made. Natural flora and fauna teem and abound both before and after we’ve carefully utilized the land for the benefit of all.
We are one of Florida's oldest suppliers of beach compatible sand. As Floridians, we are proud to be able to support the beauty of Florida's beaches. We want to ensure visitors and locals will have many more years of fun in the sun filled with strolls on the beach and lots of sandcastles.
Whether it's safety, community or our environment, we understand and appreciate that no one person can do it alone. We know it takes a whole team of people, working together, to truly make a change.
Customers of Jahna have grown to expect the very best product that the industry has to offer. However, this type of quality product doesn't happen by accident. It takes a whole team of people continually working together to produce great results.
Planning is required for each step of the mining process. From our prospecting crew, to our plant operators, our employees are able to utilize advanced technology to find and utilize the best resources possible. All Jahna mines operate under governance and oversight of state materials agencies.
A lot of time and effort goes into making our products. We are proud of this process and the results it produces. We understand the need for real-time, easily accessible product information. Check out our Product Specs - they're posted for each mine on a weekly basis.
