EJOT is a medium-sized group of companies specialising in advanced fastening technology with markets including the construction, automotive and consumer electronics industries. The group headquarters are in Bad Berleburg in the Siegen-Wittgenstein region in Germany.
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 Kocherscheidt 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. Towards the end of the 1970s, this product range was expanded to include elements for fixing insulating elements for thermal insulation in house construction.
The plant at the Parque Industrial Millennium in San Luis Potosí augments the San Luis Potosí Assembly, a General Motors assembly plant, among other customers.
