JOST has been present in the Indian market for over a decade, offering a full range of components as a preferred supplier for the tractor trailer segment. With the trailer market witnessing good growth, primarily driven by developments related to the Trailer Code (AIS 113), JOST expects a good year for the industry and is confident of robust growth for its own business too. Mr. Pradeep GS, Managing Director, VP - Sales & Marketing, JOST India, shares interesting insights on the topic.

Excerpts: 2016 review

We posted close 20 per cent topline growth in 2016. Although the second half of the calendar year was very sluggish, we made good progress for the year in products other than our core products – fifth wheel couplings.
