About EJOT Austria
EJOT Austria GmbH & Co. KG, headquartered in Voitsberg, is the Austrian site of the EJOT Group, a manufacturer of fastening technology founded in 1922 with its group headquarters in Bad Berleburg, Germany. The portfolio includes fasteners for the construction industry – including self-drilling screws, anchors, hammer-in anchors, concrete screws, powder-actuated fasteners and fastening systems for ETICS/external thermal insulation, flat roofs, ventilated facades (CROSSFIX) and solar installations – as well as fastening solutions for industry and automotive, in particular flow-drill screws for the direct fastening of plastics (FDS, EVO PT). Production within the group is carried out by cold forming, injection molding/insert molding, heat treatment (tempering) and zinc flake coating; the materials used are steels, aluminum and copper alloys and thermoplastic plastics. The offering is complemented by engineering services (CAE services, FEM simulation, calculation of fastening points), the application engineering test laboratory APPLITEC, training programs (TEC ACADEMY) and a logistics center in Bad Laasphe. In 2017 the EJOT Group employed around 3300 staff with revenue of over 500 million euros and supplies customers worldwide.
