The move marks a significant milestone in JOST’s expansion strategy, solidifying its position as a leading supplier across transport, agriculture, construction, and mining industries.
Hyva, headquartered in the Netherlands, is the world’s leading producer of front-end tipping cylinders and offers a comprehensive range of hydraulic lifting and waste handling solutions, including double-acting cylinders, hookloaders, skiploaders, refuse collection bodies, compactors, and truck-mounted cranes. Operating in over 110 countries with more than 3,000 employees and 14 production facilities across Brazil, China, Germany, India, Italy, and Mexico, Hyva has built a strong global reputation for technological leadership and market strength.
Expanding Global Reach and Strengthening Market Position
The acquisition enhances JOST’s On-Highway and Off-Highway product portfolio, allowing the company to extend its reach in Asia, the Americas, and infrastructure-related industries.
“With the Hyva brand as part of the JOST World, we are strengthening our business structure, customer base, and market positioning,” said Joachim Dürr, CEO of JOST Werke SE. “Together, we will expand our global footprint, enrich our portfolio for transport and agriculture businesses, and boost our potential in the infrastructure industry.”
Hyva’s strong brand presence and market dominance—especially in hydraulic tipping cylinders, where it holds a 40% market share—aligns seamlessly with JOST’s existing product range.
“Joining the JOST World represents an exciting new chapter for Hyva,” said Alex Tan, CEO of Hyva. “Our shared commitment to advancing technology and delivering reliable, innovative solutions for transportation, agriculture, construction, mining, and environmental applications creates a strong foundation for mutual success.”
The acquisition allows JOST and Hyva to leverage their combined expertise in R&D, focusing on the development of automated and digital solutions to meet emerging industry trends and evolving customer needs.
The acquisition of Hyva is another strategic leap forward, reinforcing JOST’s ambition to become the No. 1 supplier for On-Highway and Off-Highway commercial vehicles worldwide. By remaining agile and responsive to industry trends, JOST continues to drive innovation and deliver exceptional value to its customers across the globe.
