About Jost Aktiengesellschaft

JOST Aktiengesellschaft (ISIN: DE0006216401, ticker: JOX.DE) is a German industrial company listed on Xetra/Frankfurt (DAX/MDAX/SDAX), i.e. on the Frankfurt stock market in Germany, with a business profile centered on safety-critical systems and components for commercial vehicles. The company, now JOST Werke SE, is headquartered in Neu-Isenburg, Germany, near Frankfurt. Its origins date back to 1952, when it started as a workshop producing ball-bearing turntables; by the mid-1950s, it had expanded into fifth-wheel couplings and gradually built an international footprint. ([jost-world.com](https://www.jost-world.com/corporate/)) JOST’s business model is built around mission-critical coupling, steering, support, and hydraulic systems for road transport and, increasingly, off-highway applications. Under the JOST, ROCKINGER, TRIDEC, Quicke and Hyva brands, the group supplies fifth-wheel couplings, landing gears, kingpins, container locks, steering systems and trailer axles, as well as hydraulic solutions for tipping, lifting and material handling. Its customer base is mainly OEMs, dealers and end users, supported by a local-for-local operating model and a broad global sales network. ([jost-world.com](https://www.jost-world.com/corporate/)) From a competitive standpoint, JOST holds a strong position in a relatively concentrated market where product safety, brand trust, long-standing customer relationships and distribution depth matter materially. The company describes itself as a global leader in several niches, especially fifth-wheel couplings and landing gears, and, following the 2025 Hyva acquisition, in front-end tipping cylinders. Hyva broadens the platform into hydraulics and adds exposure to construction, agriculture and environmental end markets, complementing JOST’s traditional transport focus. ([jost-world.com](https://www.jost-world.com/fileadmin/documents/pdfs/investor-relations/Jost_Werke_AG_Zulassungsprospekt.pdf)) Geographically, JOST operates at scale: more than 6,500 employees, 33 production sites and sales activities in over 35 countries, with manufacturing and commercial presence across EMEA, the Americas and Asia-Pacific. The group also states that it operates on six continents, which underlines the breadth of its industrial and commercial reach. ([jost-world.com](https://www.jost-world.com/corporate/)) Recent news has been dominated by portfolio reshaping and integration work in 2025. JOST completed the acquisition of Hyva effective February 1, 2025, significantly expanding its hydraulic solutions offering and strengthening its position across on-highway and off-highway markets. In parallel, the company agreed to sell Hyva’s cranes business to Mutares in August 2025 and completed that divestment in December 2025, a step that supports strategic focus on core activities. JOST also used 2025 trade fairs to showcase smart coupling systems, driver-assistance innovations and new hydraulic solutions. Management described the first half of 2025 as solid in a challenging environment, with revenue growth supported by the Hyva consolidation.
