What JOEST does

JOEST Australia Pty Ltd is a Perth-based industrial equipment manufacturer and wholly-owned subsidiary of German vibration-technology group JÖST GmbH + Co. KG (Dülmen). The company designs, manufactures, services and refurbishes vibrating screens, hopper discharge feeders, fluidised bed dryers, and sifting/sorting/separating equipment used for bulk material handling in mining and quarrying, recycling, foundry and steel, agriculture, and industrial mixing applications. Its core technology rests on proprietary vibration drive systems (unbalance motors, directed exciters, crankshaft drives and exciter cells) developed within the JOEST Group over nearly a century, with JOEST Australia serving as the group's centre of excellence for mining equipment. Engineering capability is anchored in a 10,000 m² purpose-built facility in Kenwick, WA, with five cranes up to 50 tonnes and an additional 2,000 m² workshop, supported by a structured apprenticeship programme and an applications engineering team.

JOEST generates revenue across four streams: one-time equipment sales (screening, feeding, drying, sifting and separating machinery), genuine OEM spare parts, maintenance and repair services (including the JOEST Service Exchange programme for exciters), and refurbishments and upgrades. Pricing is quote-based and bespoke, with no publicly disclosed list pricing; contracts tend to be large, custom-engineered units sold to enterprise resource customers. Named customers include Roy Hill Iron Ore Pty Ltd and a Pilbara iron ore producer for high-capacity grizzly and single-deck screens rated up to 4,300 tonnes per hour, Agripower for a 13,000 kW diatomite drying plant, and a gold mining operation in North Carolina. As the exclusive Australian agent for Eirich Group, JOEST also distributes Eirich intensive mixers, disc pelletisers and Nippon Eirich fine-grinding mills, bundling complementary technologies into a single-vendor offer.

Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, with a Sales & Applications Engineering team based in Perth and a New South Wales office covering eastern Australian coal and base-metal regions. Marketing is concentrated on industry trade shows (e.g. Australian Waste & Recycling Expo, the Australian Coal Preparation Society Conference) and LinkedIn, and there is no evidence of third-party distributors, digital channels or e-commerce. The company remains privately held under the German parent, with no external funding rounds disclosed.

Direct peers

• Derrick Corporation: Specialises in high-capacity vibrating screening equipment for mining, mineral processing, and aggregates, including dewatering and fine screening applications. JOEST's dewatering screens, classification screens, and wet/dry screening machines serve the same high-throughput mineral processing use cases.
• General Kinematics: US-based manufacturer of vibratory equipment including vibrating feeders, screens, and fluidised bed dryers/coolers for mining, foundry, and recycling applications. Directly comparable product lines to JOEST's vibrating screens, feeders, and fluidised bed drying systems.
• Eriez: Manufactures vibratory feeders, screens, and magnetic separation equipment for mining, mineral processing, and bulk material handling. JOEST's vibrating feeders and screening machines overlap directly with Eriez's vibratory product portfolio in Australian and global mining markets.
• Haver & Boecker: German-engineered manufacturer of vibrating screening machines, including Niagara and Tyler screen lines, for mining, aggregates, and bulk solids. Comparable to JOEST in vibrating screen technology, German engineering heritage, and global mining customer base.
• Schenck Process (Qlar): Direct competitor in industrial vibration feeding, screening, and bulk material handling equipment with a similar global footprint and product portfolio (vibrating feeders, screens, and screening technologies). JOEST's hopper discharge feeders and screening machines compete head-to-head with Schenck's offerings in mining and bulk solids.
• Binder+Co: Austrian manufacturer of screening, sorting, and separation equipment for bulk materials including vibrating screens and optical sorting systems. Highly comparable to JOEST's sifting, sorting and separating product line for recycling, mining, and industrial processing.

Emerging players

• Terex (Terex Finlay): Mobile screening and conveying equipment OEM serving quarrying, aggregates, and recycling. Competes with JOEST in mobile/portable screening applications though JOEST's installed-base focus skews to stationary engineered plants.

Regional players

• Russell Finex: UK-based manufacturer of industrial screening and vibratory separation equipment primarily serving food, pharmaceutical, and fine chemical markets. Adjacent peer in vibrating separation technology but operates in different end-markets than JOEST's mining and bulk solids focus.

Broad incumbents

• Metso: Large global mining and aggregates equipment OEM offering a broad portfolio that includes vibrating screens and feeders alongside crushers, mills, and digital services. Overlaps with JOEST in mining vibrating equipment but operates at much greater scale and with a wider process-equipment offering.
• Sandvik: Global mining and rock processing equipment OEM with screening and feeding solutions within a much broader portfolio including drills, loaders, and crushing equipment. JOEST competes for the same vibrating-equipment portion of mining plant capex as Sandvik's screening division.
