The foundation for profitable growth

Four strategic pillars form the foundation of our AMBITION 2030 – creating the conditions for profitable growth through the cycle.  

Strengthening Market Leadership

Growth

To achieve our 2030 targets, we rely on our proven 50/50 strategy of organic and inorganic growth. On the organic side, we have a wide range of growth initiatives – from expansion into new regions to product extensions in existing markets. M&A remains a key value driver: a dedicated M&A team continuously screens the market.  

Accelerating Innovation & Digitalization

Resilience

We are systematically strengthening our resilience: by diversifying our end markets, broadening our customer base and expanding our off-highway business. Our largest customer accounts for less than 5% of sales – and with over 1,000 customers worldwide, we are broadly diversified across regions.  

Driving Operational Excellence

Mission-critical systems

Our products are system- and safety-critical for the operation of commercial vehicles. Through our push-&-pull sales strategy, we reach both OEMs and end users, unlocking cross-selling potential across all three business lines. On average, our components account for less than 10% of total vehicle value – a small cost for the customer, yet critical for vehicle operation.

Local Strength, Global Reach

Our local-for-local approach ensures resilience and flexibility in a volatile environment. With 33 production sites and over 6,500 employees worldwide, strong regional teams drive local business while leveraging the scale advantages of JOST. Our capex ratio of approximately 2.5% of sales underscores the efficiency of this model.
