What CEJN Group does
CEJN Group is a third-generation, family-owned industrial manufacturer specializing in quick-connect coupling systems (Schnellverschlusskupplungen) for pneumatic, medium- and high-pressure hydraulic, and broader fluid technology applications. Its core technology spans couplings rated for several thousand bar pressure, drip-free couplings for liquid cooling, auto-docking systems for hydraulic attachments, dry-break couplings (Smartflow), the WEO plug-in system, and standardized OCP PBMC couplings adopted by the Open Compute Project for data center thermal management. The product portfolio extends to hose and cable reels (SafetyReel line), hoses and hose kits, air and fluid guns, multi/auto couplings, hydraulic pumps, pressure testing equipment, and FRL air-treatment units, plus customized solutions for specialized applications.
The company sells predominantly hardware to B2B enterprise customers across at least eight verticals: construction machinery, wind power, data centers, electric vehicles, railway, marine/shipping, aviation, and fire & rescue. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by 22+ localized regional websites, a worldwide dealer/distributor network with dealer-locator functionality, and direct regional offices (for example, CEJN AG in Cham, Switzerland). Pricing is quote-based, not publicly disclosed, and the company emphasizes long-term relationships and sustainability credentials, including an EcoVadis Bronze Medal awarded in 2024.
