There was a fire in a factory hall at JOEST on Friday afternoon, December 16, 2016. As a result of plastering work, the filter inserts of the exhaust system caught fire.
“Thanks to the prompt and correct intervention of our employees, there was a relatively minor material damage,” said CEO Dr. Hans Moormann. When the emergency personnel arrived, the staff had already left the production hall and nobody was injured. The fire trucks “Buldern” and “Duelmen-Mitte” were deployed at the scene. Once the fire had been completely extinguished, the system was subsequently inspected for safety using thermal imaging cameras.
2024 was a special year in many ways for our continuously growing JOEST group. To start, we completed the largest acquisition in our company‘s history at the turn of the year with the purchase of the MOGENSEN Group and its locations in Germany, Spain and Sweden.

Yesterday was the day: our traditional #JOESTeam Day Christmas 2024 took place, and it was an evening we will all remember. Amidst the magical, Christmas-lit backdrop of Dülmen’s market square, we came together to bring the year to a close. The ice rink, which was all ours that evening, provided the perfect stage for an exciting and entertaining curling tournament.
