STDS-Jantz

What STDS-Jantz does

STDS-Jantz GmbH & Co. KG is a German manufacturer of specialized drilling equipment for special civil engineering (Spezialtiefbau), headquartered in Attendorn, North Rhine-Westphalia. The company designs and produces drilling rigs, auger drives, drill rods, casings, and a comprehensive range of drilling tools and accessories. Its portfolio centers on the Premodrill series of compact drilling rigs (Premodrill 50 and Premodrill 33), a full range of hydraulic auger drives (AD260 through AD3500 series) for excavator mounting, continuous flight augers for vertical and horizontal drilling, CFA piling systems with VdW double-head technology, and specialized systems for geothermal, well drilling, soil mixing, and unexploded ordnance detection. Manufacturing is conducted at two in-house facilities in Germany and Scotland (N.U.B. Engineering, acquired 2007), supported by proprietary processes including friction welding, CNC-controlled connector manufacturing, and robotic auger welding.

The company serves specialist civil engineering contractors and infrastructure projects globally, with named reference projects including Dubai International Airport deep foundation work, the New Forth Road Crossing in Scotland, and Hamburg Port Authority ordnance detection. Revenue is generated primarily through direct hardware sales of drilling rigs, tools, augers, and wear parts, supplemented by an equipment rental service (Mietpark) and ongoing spare parts revenue. Distribution is sales-led, leveraging company-owned offices in Los Angeles, Watford/London, and Brussels to provide local customer support in North America, the UK, and Benelux/France respectively, complemented by participation in major international trade shows including bauma, GeoTHERM, MATEXPO, and Infra Oman. The business is family-owned in its second generation under Managing Director Peter Jantz, with 70+ employees.

Product overview

STDS-Jantz is a manufacturer of specialized drilling equipment for geotechnical and civil engineering applications, operating as a single-brand company alongside its acquired subsidiary N.U.B. Engineering (Scotland). The product portfolio centers on the Premodrill series of compact drilling rigs (Premodrill 50 and Premodrill 33) as core offerings, complemented by a comprehensive range of hydraulic auger drives (AD260 through AD3500 series) designed for excavator mounting. The product line further includes continuous flight augers for vertical and horizontal drilling, CFA piling systems with VdW double-head technology, hollow stem augers for well drilling and concrete injection, rotary drilling tools (drill buckets, core barrels, rock augers), and specialized equipment for soil mixing, geothermal drilling, and UXO detection. Supporting products include concrete/grout swivel heads, shock absorbers for down-the-hole hammer protection, and a full range of genuine spare/wear parts. Through N.U.B. Engineering, the company extends into recycling wear parts compatible with Doppstadt, Vermeer, Willibald, Jenz, and Bandit equipment, as well as refractory maintenance services for industrial furnaces. The company offers equipment rental through its Mietpark fleet.
