About JOAB - JOAB

Through interaction we create successful innovations for the transport industry

JOAB is a leader in the bodybuilding industry for trucks in the Nordics. With over 60 years of industry experience, we have built up a deep and comprehensive internal knowledge. Our specialist areas include the development, manufacture and sale of high-quality skiploaders, hooklifts, RCV, flatbeds with cranes and the market's smartest shifting system, Cameleont™. In addition, JOAB is the exclusive distributor of HMF cranes in Sweden and Finland.

We are proud to be quality and environmental certified according to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. This reflects our commitment to offer high-quality products, technical expertise and first-class service to ensure the best long-term solutions and investments for our customers. We also actively strive to reduce our environmental impact. In our main production facility, we have now switched to completely fossil-free heating but also investes in solar cells for all assembly facilities, which we see as an important step towards a more sustainable future.

Our product development focuses on the life cycle perspective. The recently launched skiploader and hooklift from the EcoDrive series have significantly reduced fuel consumption, reducing carbon dioxide emissions over the entire life cycle when running on fossil fuels. For electric operation, the range is significantly extended thanks to JOAB EcoDrive's reduced energy consumption. These are just a few examples of our commitment to a sustainable future in the transport industry, where sustainability and innovative technology have always been at the heart of our work.

We value our collaboration and close relationships with our users, which has been key to building our strong brand. The most significant proof of our success is the trust we continuously receive from our customers and partners.

Today we operate in several locations, including Gothenburg, Dals Rostock, Lessebo, Malmö, Jordbro, Täby, Blomstermåla, Ålem as well as in Nurmijärvi and Närpes in Finland. Since the start in 1963, JOAB has continuously expanded and increased its market share. Approximately 40% of our sales are exported, mainly to the Nordic countries, but also to Switzerland, Austria and the Baltic countries.
