What Hyva does

Hyva is a Netherlands-headquartered global manufacturer of hydraulic solutions for commercial vehicles, founded in 1979 in Alphen aan den Rijn and now operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of JOST World with more than 3,500 employees, 30+ wholly-owned subsidiaries, and 12 production facilities across China, India, Brazil, and Europe. The company designs and produces tipping cylinders (front-end and underbody), container handling systems (Titan hookloaders and skiploaders), refuse compactors and waste collection equipment, fifth wheels, trailer couplings, and associated wet-kit components including pumps, valves, PTOs, hoses, and oil tanks. In February 2021, Hyva divested its entire global cranes business (Hyva Crane, Amco Veba, Kennis, Ferrari brands) to Mutares, refocusing the portfolio on tipping solutions, container handling, and waste management; the Ferrari brand continues to service existing crane customers.

Hyva serves five primary end-markets — agriculture, construction, environmental services, logistics and transportation, and mining — with more than 20,000 customers across 110+ countries, claiming more than 40% global market share in front-end tipping cylinders. The technology stack combines proprietary hydraulic engineering with a connected product overlay: the Digital Tipping Solutions (DTS) Guide, introduced in 2025, uses multiple sensors with a cloud platform that surfaces safety and operational data to drivers and fleet managers. The product portfolio also includes the EDGE Line premium cranes and the KENNIS E-POWER electric rolloader crane targeting urban applications.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales of capital equipment to commercial vehicle OEMs and fleet operators, recurring original spare parts sales through the My Hyva online portal, and professional service and maintenance delivered via authorized service partners in 130+ countries. Pricing is quote-based through wholly-owned subsidiaries and authorized dealers, with multi-year contracts typical for capital equipment; no public pricing is disclosed. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales, channel/dealer sales for mid-market customers, and a self-serve online portal for spare parts ordering and warranty registration. Recent strategic emphasis is on digital and electric product extensions, ISO 9001 and CE compliance, and geographic deepening in markets such as West Africa.
