J&W Transfer Company History

J&W Transfer has been in the moving and storage business since 1932. The company name originated from the founding owners Clyde Jewett and Mike Ward. Harry Knopes purchased the business in 1968 and the business was owned and operated by his sons, Jeff and Denny until 2018 when it was acquired by Matt and Julia DeLong.

J & W Transfer slowly transitioned out of the household moving industry in 2008 and now concentrates on industrial/commercial & machinery rigging. J & W Transfer also included crating services in our scope of services.  We can service your domestic crating needs with ease and compliance.
