A new team has risen to perpetuate founder Otto Jangl’s long (and green) love affair with O.J. Company and its clients.

About O.J. company

In 1950, with his agronomist’s degree in his pocket, Otto Jangl left his native Czechoslovakia to settle in the quiet community of Sherrington, Quebec. His love for all things green and his entrepreneurial flair led him to start a modest seed-selling business. The rest, as they say, is history. From those humble beginnings, O.J. Company rapidly became the leader in the field of supplying golf courses, parks services and landscapers with the equipment and seeds they needed, from Eastern Ontario to the four corners of Quebec and all points between.

Whatever the field of endeavour or the size of a company, the void left by a man of Otto Jangl’s stature is not easily filled. So, to ensure our customers the smooth and seamless continuity required for the conduct of their business, a whole team rose to the challenge of shouldering our founder’s responsibilities. Their mission: to offer our clients the same level of service and expertise they deserve and to which they are accustomed as well as maintaining the close-knit relationships that have allowed us to know their specific needs and problems inside and out.

It’s the kind of thinking that made us what we are today and that got Mr. Jangl named lifetime member of the Quebec Order of Agronomists. It’s a mindset that also guarantees the new team’s success since it’s a part of who they are as people, hard-working people with your best interests in mind.
