Isratech Jamaica Ltd.

Waterworks supports water and wastewater treatment and the distribution/storage of water; and Isratech Energy Solutions provides alternative sources of energy for reducing the carbon footprint. The core of the overall business runs from the Mandeville headquarters – a five-acre site with warehousing, offices, and a large factory. A second location in Montego Bay includes the IJL engineering corps, a retail location, a sales operation, and a wholesale operation.
