Janser

What Janser does

Janser is a family-owned manufacturer and distributor of professional floor treatment equipment, founded in 1961 in Germany by Maximilien Janser and remaining under family ownership. The company has manufactured its own tools and machines since 1969 and operates as the JANSER Group through 9 wholly-owned subsidiaries and 21 general representations across 26 countries, with the French subsidiary (Janser S.A.S., headquartered in Marlenheim since 1971) serving as the principal commercial entity for the French market. Janser offers approximately 4,000 products covering the complete floor covering workflow: removal (ride-on and manual strippers), surface preparation and grinding (COLIBRI II, KONDOR, BS 580, Columbus series), moisture measurement, material mixing (XQ Series via Collomix partnership), installation tools, hot air welding (Leister-sourced equipment and Janser-branded MH 7/HSG 2420), transport/handling, PPE/workwear, and site protection. The product mix blends proprietary Janser-engineered equipment (with patented technologies such as Premium self-sharpening blades and the KONDOR Quick-Change system) with co-branded third-party products (Collomix mixers, Leister welders) and accessories/consumables.

Janser generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of professional floor treatment machines, complemented by aftermarket spare parts, consumables, and used/refurbished equipment sold via the Bonnes Affaires section. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; most quotes are handled by regional field sales representatives, with selected used items individually priced (e.g., T2000S moisture meter at 350 EUR, ME420 mixer at 129.90 EUR, Mont'Stairs electric stair climber at 2,500 EUR). The go-to-market is enterprise field sales: a network of technico-commerciaux assigned to geographic sectors provides on-site advice, product demonstrations, and promotional offers directly at job sites, supported by an interactive digital catalog (Calaméo), a downloadable PDF catalog, an email newsletter ('SOLS ET VOUS'), Facebook and YouTube channels for product demonstration, and presence at industry trade shows (Artibat, BAU). After-sales service is offered as an explicit revenue stream. Janser serves over 50,000 customers worldwide, primarily professional floor installers, parquet specialists, and floor covering retailers - a fragmented SMB-base of professional trades rather than a concentrated enterprise customer book.
