What Jagenberg Converting Solutions does

Jagenberg Converting Solutions GmbH is a Bocholt-headquartered, Krefeld-registered German GmbH that operates as a general contractor for turnkey plants and components processing web-shaped materials. It is a subsidiary of the family-owned Jagenberg Group (founded 1878, more than 1,500 employees worldwide), and sits alongside sibling companies Kampf (cutting/winding), Lebbing (drive and automation), WDB Systemtechnik (machine and plant construction), Jagenberg Digital Solutions (IIoT platform), Kusters Calico, and Zima.

The business is organized in two technology divisions. Surface Technologies delivers premium, high-end, and basic printing lines, modular coating systems, laboratory systems, 100% UV acrylate systems, and barrier coating equipment, served by an in-house drying technology platform for decorative surfaces used in furniture, caravans, doors, flooring, and fa\u00e7ade panels. Energy Technologies supplies turnkey pilot and production plants plus individual components (coating units, slot dies, post-dryers, winders, calenders) for roll-to-roll electrode coating and drying in lithium-ion battery and fuel cell manufacturing. The core technical moats are precision slot-die coating, advanced R2R drying engineered in Germany, and calendering for electrode finishing.

Revenue is generated through one-time turnkey plant contracts and capital equipment sales into enterprise customers, with go-to-market executed via direct enterprise sales (general-contractor model) supplemented by an industry trade-show and content-marketing funnel. Customer focus is split between automotive and new-energy customers building battery gigafactories and decorative surface producers. Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed. Geographic reach spans Germany, North America (via partnership with Faustel Inc.), the United Kingdom, and India (via group affiliate Kusters Calico).

Core offering

Jagenberg Converting Solutions designs, engineers and builds turnkey roll-to-roll (R2R) coating, drying, calendering and winding manufacturing lines for two main end markets: lithium-ion battery and fuel cell electrode production (Energy Technologies), and decorative surface printing/coating for furniture, flooring, doors, caravans and façade panels (Surface Technologies). The company acts as a general contractor, bundling its own equipment with that of Jagenberg Group sister companies and strategic partners to deliver complete production plants. Individual components (coating units, slot dies, post-dryers, winders, calenders, modular coating systems, laboratory systems) are also sold separately for integration into existing lines.

Product overview

Jagenberg Converting Solutions provides turnkey solutions for finishing demanding web-shaped materials, combining Surface and Energy technology divisions. The Surface Technologies division offers printing solutions (Premium Line, High-End Line, Basic Line) and coating solutions (Modular Systems, Laboratory Systems, 100% UV Acrylate Systems, Barrier Coating) with associated Drying Technologies for decorative surfaces in furniture, flooring, doors, caravans, and façade panels. The Energy Technologies division provides turnkey pilot and production plants for lithium-ion battery and fuel cell production, including individual components such as Coating Units, Slot Dies, Post-Dryers, Winders, and Calendering equipment for roll-to-roll electrode coating. The company integrates expertise from Jagenberg Group companies (Kampf, Lebbing, WDB, Jagenberg Digital Solutions) to deliver comprehensive solutions.
