Company Overview

We connect worlds

Since 1952, we have done more than build components: we have connected worlds. With our mission-critical systems for on- and off-highway commercial vehicles, we make hard work more efficient, easier and safer for truck drivers, farmers, and construction workers around the globe. Our innovative solutions work together across the entire journey: from the field where harvests are gathered, to the roads where they are transported, to the destinations where they are delivered.

Our global network of experts, comprising the product brands JOST, Hyva, Quicke, TRIDEC, and ROCKINGER, delivers these solutions tailored to the unique needs of our customers – because roads, climates, and regulations are as diverse as the customers we serve. This is made possible by 6,500 engineers, specialists, and problem-solvers worldwide, who, as part of JOST World, collaboratively develop the technologies of tomorrow: from smart connectivity and sensor technology to weight-optimized design and biodegradable lubricants.
