Jimmie Eloff started GLL with the sole purpose in mind of providing excellent service and always putting the customer first. Jimmie started in the geosynthetic business right after graduate school. “There have been a number of times when people ask me how I got into this business. The answer is pretty easy– someone offered me a job and gave me a paycheck.”

Jimmie’s first job in the industry was with a geomembrane fabricator and installer based out of Chicago that specialized in fuel containment and had contracts with all four branches of the military. He then took a position with a large manufacturer managing two North American markets specializing in blown film and reinforced polyethylene. This gave Jimmie a different perspective on understanding a variety of specialty materials, while understanding the market from a different perspective. Jimmie then wanted to move back home to Chicago and took a position as North American sales manager for a company that specialized in woven coated polyethylene. After a tremendous amount of growth and following an acquisition, he decided it was time to take what he learned up and down the supply chain in the goesynthetics industry to venture out and start Great Lakes Lining. “This has been a dream of mine. I have worked for some very good companies in the past and value the experiences I’ve gained over that time. Our business is built on relationships. Our pledge to our customers is simple, we will always strive to do the right thing.”
