Kautex and Jwell: Strategic Partnership Strengthens Innovation and Global Reach

09.09.2025 | Press Release

Bonn (Germany), September 2025 – Since its acquisition by Jwell Machinery Group in 2023, Kautex Maschinenbau has evolved into a company that combines the best of both worlds: German engineering excellence, customer focus, and process know-how with Jwell’s industrial strength, extended global reach, international supplier network, and innovation power. At K 2025, Kautex is showcasing this partnership – including selected Jwell components on display at the booth.

“Since Jwell became our owner, we can offer customers more: more resources, faster development, and an expanded technology portfolio – while Kautex remains what it always has been: a trusted partner with German roots,” says Eike Wedell, CEO of Kautex Maschinenbau.

Strategic Partnership enables Opportunities for Customers

The partnership opens up new opportunities: investments in technology and infrastructure, shorter innovation cycles, and access to new markets and customers. Where Jwell components meet Kautex quality standards, they are integrated selectively – as part of a modular, flexible solution, not as a replacement.

“The Jwell components on display represent smart synergies, not substitution. Customers gain a broader toolbox, while relying on known Kautex products, same quality and service they know from Kautex,” adds Guido Langenkamp, Director Product Management.

Customer benefits at a glance:

  • More options thanks to expanded technology and components
  • Faster innovation and shorter development cycles
  • Stronger supply chains and competitive pricing in key segments
  • Same trusted Kautex quality and customer proximity
