JBDI’s activities center on extending the useful life of industrial containers and managing them at the end of their lifecycle. The company’s business involves reconditioning and recycling drums and related containers, as well as supplying reconditioned steel and plastic drums and new containers. Public information also notes that JBDI offers ancillary services related to these products.

Available descriptions of the company emphasize its nearly four decades of industry experience in Singapore and Southeast Asia. Over this period, JBDI has built a reputation for quality and reliability in the handling of drums and containers. The company highlights that it serves customers that require industrial containers and related services, and that its offerings are intended to help them work toward a zero environmental impact footprint while maintaining operational efficiency.
JBDI’s operations are tied to the broader industrial and logistics ecosystem in its region, where drums and containers are used to transport and store a variety of materials. By focusing on reconditioning and recycling, the company participates in circular-use practices for industrial packaging. Its revenue base, as described in its financial reporting, is diversified across several categories: sales of reconditioned containers, sales of new containers, reconditioning services, and sales of recycled materials and related services. Sales of reconditioned containers are identified as the largest contributor among these categories.
Geographically, JBDI reports that Singapore is its primary market, with additional revenue generated from Indonesia, Malaysia, and other countries in Southeast Asia. This regional footprint reflects the company’s focus on serving industrial customers in and around Singapore that require drums and containers, as well as related reconditioning and recycling services.
JBDI is incorporated in the Cayman Islands and reports as a foreign private issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, filing documents such as Form 20-F and Form 6-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company completed an initial public offering of its ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, with its registration statement on Form F-1 declared effective and its shares beginning to trade under the symbol JBDI.

In its financial reporting for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, JBDI describes its revenue mix and geographic distribution, noting that Singapore remains the dominant source of revenue, with smaller contributions from Indonesia and Malaysia/other markets. The company also discusses market conditions affecting demand for reconditioned containers and related services, including pressures experienced by customers in sectors such as chemical and oil and gas, and broader cost and supply chain challenges.
JBDI has also reported on its capital markets and corporate governance developments. It has announced the closing and pricing of its initial public offering, the approval of resolutions at its annual general meeting, and the appointment and ratification of its independent registered public accounting firm. In addition, JBDI has disclosed a share repurchase program authorized by its board of directors, under which it may repurchase a specified dollar amount of its ordinary shares, subject to market conditions and applicable regulations.
The company’s Nasdaq listing status has been the subject of several notices and updates. JBDI has received notifications from Nasdaq regarding compliance with the minimum bid price requirement and periodic filing requirements. In some instances, the company has later announced that it regained compliance with these listing rules after meeting the specified conditions, such as maintaining a minimum bid price over a defined period or filing required interim financial statements. In a more recent notice, JBDI disclosed that it received a written notification from Nasdaq indicating that its ordinary shares had again failed to maintain the minimum bid price requirement, and that it was granted a compliance period to remedy the deficiency. The company noted that this notification did not result in immediate delisting and that its shares continued to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Across its public communications, JBDI repeatedly emphasizes its mission of supporting customers’ environmental and cost objectives. By focusing on reconditioning, recycling, and the supply of drums and containers, the company aims to align industrial packaging usage with sustainability goals, particularly in Singapore and the wider Southeast Asia region.
