JÖST GmbH & Co. KG

What JÖST GmbH & Co. KG does

JÖST GmbH & Co. KG is a family-owned German engineering and machinery group headquartered in Dülmen-Buldern, Germany, founded in 1919, that designs and manufactures high-performance vibration equipment and bulk-material handling systems for industrial customers worldwide. The group's core technology is proprietary JVM drive technology — unbalanced motors, exciters, magnetic drives, and dosing drives — combined with proprietary screening technologies such as the OSCILLA flip-flow family, and built up over more than 100 years of application engineering.

The product portfolio operates as a modular, combinable system covering the full processing chain: drives, feeders, spiral elevators, casting coolers, charging and dosing feeders, circular and linear motion screens, dewatering screens, coarse separators, cascade and small screens, air separators and sifters (Zig Zag, J-Flow, Air Cone, AirVibe), fluidized bed systems for drying/cooling/heating/tempering, shakeouts, compaction tables, sand attrition units, spiral crushers, ball mills, MUCKI lifting and tipping equipment, and the J-SEN 4.0 automation platform. The 2019 acquisition of GOESSLING added hinged belt and immersion-bath conveyors plus washing/de-oiling centrifuges, and the January 2024 acquisition of the MOGENSEN Group (Germany, Spain, Sweden) added the MSizer screening/classification product line; the MSort product was subsequently divested to STEINERT in July 2024.

JOEST serves enterprise customers across foundries, mining and minerals, recycling (including battery recycling and waste-to-energy slag), food, chemicals, steel, surface finishing, screw/small metal fabrication, cold and hot forming, animal feed, textiles, and stamping. Revenue is generated on a project-by-project custom-quotation basis — covering individual machines, complete plant solutions, spare parts (most shippable within hours), and after-sales installation, commissioning, maintenance, retrofit, and upgrade services. The company operates 12 wholly-owned subsidiaries across four continents (Australia, USA, Brazil, Korea, France, India, South Africa, China) plus a minority stake in JBM China, with over 60,000 m² of production space at headquarters and a new 4,000+ m² stainless steel facility opened in 2025; the group employs more than 1,100 people and is led by Managing Partners Alexander Moormann and Dr. Marcus Wirtz.

Direct peers

• Schenck Process Group: Schenck Process is a Darmstadt, Germany-based global manufacturer of vibratory equipment, screens, feeders, and conveying technology for bulk material handling across mining, cement, chemicals, and food — directly competing with JOEST's core screening, feeding, and conveying portfolios. Both serve similar enterprise customers with engineered, project-based solutions and a global aftermarket footprint.
• General Kinematics: General Kinematics is a US-headquartered manufacturer of vibratory equipment (vibratory feeders, screens, conveyors, and fluid bed dryers/coolers) for foundry, mining, recycling, and bulk material applications. It mirrors JOEST's product portfolio and serves overlapping industries with engineered vibratory systems.
• AViTEQ Vibrationstechnik: AViTEQ is a German/Hettstedt-based specialist in vibratory drive and conveying technology — including unbalanced motors, exciters, magnetic drives, and vibrating feeders/screens — and competes head-to-head with JOEST's JVM drives and bulk-material-handling products in the German Mittelstand market.
• Carrier Vibrating Equipment: Carrier Vibrating Equipment is a US manufacturer of vibrating conveyors, feeders, foundry shakeouts, and screening equipment — overlapping JOEST's product set and serving foundries, mining, and bulk processors with engineered vibratory systems.
• Derrick Corporation: Derrick Corporation is a Buffalo, NY-based specialist in fine-screening and dewatering technology for mining, mineral processing, and industrial applications — directly comparable to JOEST's vibrating screens and OSCILLA flip-flow screens in the mining and minerals segment.
• STEINERT: STEINERT is a Cologne-based sorting and separation specialist that, in July 2024, acquired the MSort product line from JOEST subsidiary MOGENSEN. It competes directly with JOEST in sensor- and air-based sorting for the recycling segment and now overlaps in the very product family JOEST recently divested.

Broad incumbents

• Metso: Metso is a large Finnish-listed global supplier of equipment, parts and services for mining, aggregates, and metals processing, including vibrating screens, feeders, and conveyors. It competes with JOEST in mining and aggregates but spans a much broader portfolio (crushers, grinding mills, pumps, digital services).
• Sandvik: Sandvik is a large Swedish-listed industrial group whose Mining & Rock Solutions and Rock Processing divisions manufacture screens, feeders, and crushing equipment used in aggregates and mining — overlapping JOEST's mining and minerals customer base while serving a much broader portfolio of industrial customers.
• Terex Materials Processing: Terex's Materials Processing segment manufactures mobile and stationary screens, feeders, and washing equipment for aggregates, recycling, and mining — overlapping JOEST's screening and recycling offerings but as part of a much broader heavy-equipment OEM portfolio.

Emerging players

• Hapman: Hapman is a US-based manufacturer of bulk material handling equipment, including vibrating feeders, conveyors, and bag dump stations, serving food, chemical, plastics, and recycling customers — comparable niche to JOEST's bulk-handling applications with somewhat narrower product depth.
