Description: JST JOST Werke December 25, 2025
JOST Werke SE (XETRA:JST) is a German-based manufacturer of safety-critical components for commercial vehicles, serving markets across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, and Africa. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Neu-Isenburg, the firm operates under the JOST, ROCKINGER, TRIDEC, and Quicke brands.
The product suite spans truck and trailer systems-such as fifth-wheel couplings, dual-height couplings, sliders, king-pins, turntables, landing gear, hubodometers, and axle caps-plus intermodal container hardware (corner castings, twist locks, bolsters, air-bag lifters) and a range of axle, steering, and suspension components. Ancillary offerings include towing hitches, drawbars, and forestry-agricultural accessories.
In FY 2023 the company reported revenue of roughly €1.2 billion, with an EBIT margin of about 6 % and an order backlog representing 1.5 × annual sales, indicating solid demand continuity. Export sales account for roughly 70 % of total revenue, exposing JOST to global freight-transport cycles and currency fluctuations.
Key sector drivers include the EU’s tightening CO₂ standards, which are accelerating the rollout of electric and hybrid trucks and boosting demand for lightweight, high-strength coupling solutions; and the growth of intermodal logistics, projected to expand at 4-5 % CAGR through 2028, underpinning the need for reliable container-handling hardware. Supply-chain constraints in steel and precision-machined components remain a material risk to margins.
