JOST India

JOST WORLD since its foundation near Frankfurt am Main in 1952 as a simple forge for ball bearing turntables, JOST has established itself as a global market leader in the production of systems, modules and components for commercial vehicles. This success is mainly based on the company‘s flexibility, technical expertise, entrepreneurial mindset and deep connection with its employees and customers. That is what makes JOST traditionally stand out from the crowd. Nevertheless time does not stand still. Markets are moving closing together and becoming more competitive; customers are becoming more price-sensitive. Quality, service and performance remain the top priorities for JOST, addressing current challenges through innovative solutions. JOST offers high-quality brand products which are split into the following three system groups: Vehicle Interface (focusing on products required for operating truck and trailer commercial vehicle combinations, such as fifth wheel couplings and landing gears), Handling Solutions (comprising container equipment and hydraulic cylinder products) and Manoeuvring (focusing on axles for tractors (trucks), semitrailers and trailers, as well as forced steering systems). As the leading supplier of fifth wheel couplings and landing gears worldwide, JOST heads the market in the vehicle interface systems sector. JOST's position as an international market leader is strengthened by its strong brands, its long-term customer relationships supported by a global sales network, and by the efficient and non-capital-intensive business model. The four JOST brands – JOST, ROCKINGER, TRIDEC and Edbro – are highly valued in the industry thanks to the quality of their products and continuous innovations. Its global sales network and production sites in thirteen countries across five continents mean that JOST has direct access to all major manufacturers of trucks and trailers, as well as all relevant end customers. Currently employs over 2,900 staff worldwide
