What Jedermann AG does

Jedermann AG is a third-generation, family-owned German manufacturer of LED vehicle lighting and associated electronic control modules, headquartered in Hausbay, Rhineland-Palatinate. Founded in 1970 as an injection moulding shop, the company pivoted into vehicle lighting in 1995 and now produces a full portfolio of homologated LED products — end outline marker lamps, rear lamps, side marker lamps, directional/warning lamps, registration plate lamps, work lamps, and interior lamps — together with reflex reflectors, all for commercial vehicles (trucks, trailers, agricultural and construction equipment) and emergency vehicles.

Vertically integrated production covers the entire chain from concept through finished product: CNC-based mould construction, 15 injection molding machines (120–1,600 kN closure force), in-house SMD PCB assembly, vacuum metallization (PVD aluminum coating), CO2 and YAG laser processing for custom markings, and final assembly on a ~3,000 m² site, with a wholly-owned Czech manufacturing subsidiary, ADVELIS s.r.o. (founded 2016, Kačice). A 2025–2026 product wave has extended the portfolio beyond lamps into proprietary electronic modules — CONTROLmann (S/M/L), PULSEmann (ISO 13207-1 compliant), FLASHmann (synchronization), RESISTORmann, PIRmann (PIR motion sensor) — plus the WIREmann cable/connector accessory line.

The business model is direct B2B sales to commercial vehicle OEMs, fleet operators, and German/European SMEs, with no disclosed distributor or reseller network. Pricing is not public; products are customized to specification and carry a 3-year warranty. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified and its modules carry UNECE Regulation 10, ISO 13207-1, ADR, and IP6K9K ratings. Governance was formalized in 2022 when the entity converted from GmbH to AG and installed third-generation Managing Directors Jens Jedermann and Kristin Jedermann-Kunz.
