Jäger Gummi und Kunststoff

What Jäger Gummi und Kunststoff does

Jäger Gummi und Kunststoff GmbH is a German B2B manufacturer of high-performance rubber, silicone, and plastic components, headquartered in Hannover and operating as the core elastomer/plastics subsidiary of the family-owned JÄGER Group (parent: Arnold Jäger Holding GmbH). Founded in 1942, the company serves four primary vertical end-markets — agricultural technology (sieving belts and conveying systems for harvesters, seeders, and round balers), energy technology (wind turbine hose assemblies, rotor blade rubber-metal components, oil pump stators and rotors), environmental technology (JetFlex aeration membranes, Cleartec biofilm fixed-bed systems for municipal and industrial wastewater), and mechanical engineering (sealing, vibration damping, and insulation components). Production spans injection molding, extrusion, rotational molding, and rubber-to-metal bonding, with central rubber compounding and testing centralized at the Artemis Kautschuk subsidiary (more than 100 patents) and complemented by an LSR/high-performance plastics capability added in 2022 via Jaeger Precision Elastomers.

The company generates revenue through custom-engineered OEM components, standardized catalog parts, and co-development engineering services priced on a quote-based B2B basis, with multi-year contracts and volume-based pricing for high-run parts. Go-to-market is a decentralized direct-sales model — eight branch offices in Germany with on-site technical consulting, plus a network of 15 subsidiary companies and 20+ production and sales sites spanning the Netherlands, USA, Poland, China, India, and Canada. The group reported €263M in 2025 revenue, holds ISO 9001/14001/50001 certifications, and is in the fourth generation of family ownership, with Julius Jäger representing the latest generation after joining management in June 2023 and moving to the holding entity in January 2026.
