JASCO Sales Inc. have been designing and manufacturing concrete support systems for over 30 years. Our products are made from HI-strength, LITE-weight aluminum, hence the product brand name, “HI-LITE SYSTEMS”.  Our original company began manufacturing and erecting scaffolding in 1952 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada under the name "Jackson Scaffolding Limited". Then we shortened our name to Jasco Industries Inc."

Our founder and still president, George W. Jackson, began the company by developing a single leg scaffold which took the Vancouver market "by storm" where stucco was, and still is, the main exterior finish. The single leg scaffold is still used extensively throughout British Columbia today.

In the 1970's, Mr. Jackson, a designer by heart, began the development and modification of steel frame scaffolding and shoring, ultimately designing and manufacturing the world's first aluminum frame shoring system. Our 12K aluminum system is now the most advanced system in North America and is rapidly gaining popularity around the world.

In 1982 Mr. Jackson sold the rental company in British Columbia and came to Ontario with Jasco Industries to develop and manufacture aluminum concrete support systems, wall forms and aluminum scaffolding in order to better serve the domestic and international market places.

In 1985 Mr. Jackson changed the company name to "HI-LITE SYSTEMS ", as it was felt that HI-LITE was a more suitable name to represent the products being developed -HI-strength and LITE-weight.

HI-LITE SYSTEMS had a major expansion in 1992 with the launching of several new product lines internationally. We now manufacture three size capacities of aluminum heavy load frame shoring, one with a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 24,000 lbs., one with a SWL of 50,000 lbs., and one in between.

We also manufacture an aluminum telescopic fly forming system, capable of flying from one floor to the next without using large cumbersome lowering jacks, common in the marketplace.

We have designed and now manufactured three separate styles of wall forms, which range from all aluminum to a combination of aluminum and plywood, either handset or gang formed with specially designed aluminum beams and strongbacks.

Currently at JASCO, we have recently developed exciting new products such as an Aluminum Bridge Overhang bracket, an Aluminum Column Hung System and a unique Tie-Rod system. 

The use of aluminum components allows strength where required, realizing savings in weight, labour, crane time and employee fatigue, with flexibility of multiple uses and longer life.
