JOST sells its Edbro hydraulic cylinder business to Enact and its fund manager Endless LLP

Neu-Isenburg, May 17, 2021. JOST Werke AG ("JOST"), a leading global producer and supplier of safety-critical systems for the commercial vehicle industry, sold its Edbro hydraulic cylinders business to Enact and its fund manager Endless LLP.

Following the review of its organic and external expansion strategy, JOST decided to divest its Edbro hydraulic cylinder business to focus on other identified strategic growth opportunities in the transportation and agricultural commercial vehicle segment. Enact and Endless LLP, which have acquired Edbro Ltd (formerly JOST UK Ltd.), demonstrated that their future plans for Edbro are well aligned with Edbro's and JOST's objectives.

JOST will continue to distribute Edbro products to customers and ensure a seamless customer experience. The transaction will have no impact on JOST's outlook for fiscal year 2021, which the company confirms.
