History

EJOT Tezmak, a daughter in Turkey

The origin of EJOT is the former Adolf Böhl GmbH & Co. KG, a manufacturer of screws and nails founded in 1922 in Bad Berleburg - Berghausen.

In 1960, after the death of the founder, his nephew Hans W. Kocherscheidt inherited the company. In 1965 he bought the screw producing company Eberhard Jaeger in Bad Laasphe and merged the two companies under the name EJOT.

In 1971 an Engineered Plastic Components production was added to the production in Bad Berleburg. In 1993 EJOT acquired the former Volkseigener Betrieb, Schraubenwerk Tambach GmbH in Tambach-Dietharz, Thuringia. With time, expansion, acquisitions and diversification developed the former screws company into the present business group with approx. 2200 employees. About 1500 employees are working in Germany, further 700 employees belong to foreign offices and connected companies in Europe, Russia, United Arab Emirates, China, Mexico and the United States.

In Mexico, the company produces cold-formed fasteners for various customers in the automotive industry, the electronics industry, the industry of household appliances and a growing Construction industry.

EJOT GmbH & Co. KG, Germany

gollark: I mean, most of these "smart"er cars probably have wireless features of some sort, and probably zero budget spent on security.

gollark: I worry that cars with increasingly complex software will also end up with security problems.
