What EJOT does

EJOT SE & Co. KG is a German specialist in fastening and connection technology, founded in 1922 and headquartered in Bad Berleburg, Germany, with a secondary operational site in Bad Laasphe. The company operates two market units: Building Fasteners (Baugewerbe), serving construction contractors, architects, planners, system providers, and dealers through a portfolio of self-drilling screws, sealing screws, concrete and timber screws, anchors (including the LIEBIG heavy-duty brand and ejotherm ETICS anchors), facade and flat-roof fasteners, solar mounting fasteners, the CROSSFIX substructure system, and the PEARLOCK invisible fastening system for aluminum composite facades; and Industry & Automotive, serving industrial manufacturers and automotive suppliers with direct-screwing solutions for plastics and metals (ALtracs Xt, EVO PT), precision cold-formed parts, EJOWELD friction-welding joining technology, hybrid/insert-molded components, and specialty fasteners for honeycomb, foam, and headlamp adjustment applications. EJOT monetizes almost exclusively through hardware sales of these products via three channels: an owned e-commerce storefront, a dealer/distributor network, and direct enterprise sales supported by more than 30 international subsidiaries across Europe and beyond. The business relies on proprietary, trademarked technologies, European technical approvals and national building-authority certifications, the TEC ACADEMY training platform, and digital tools such as Xt CALC to maintain specification lock-in across both construction and industrial customer bases.
