Innovative strength right from the start
From the humble beginnings to the internationally operating group of companies: Jokey was and is a family business with a pronounced customer orientation. The strong foundation for our company was laid in 1968 in the Fähnrichstüttem farmstead in the Bergisches Land region near Cologne. Josef Kemmerich starts the production of plastic buckets for the filling industry in a 200 square meter workshop with two used injection molding machines and nine employees. He names the newly founded company Jokey Plastik after the first letters of his name. Three years later, Kemmerich's sons join the company as partners. The young company grows rapidly, soon adding new production facilities. Jokey courageously continues to invest and expand - even in times when the industry is in crisis.
Expansion at the Sohland site
n 1989, the Berlin Wall falls, ushering in sweeping sociopolitical change. Major changes were also on the horizon at Jokey. After the fall of the Wall, our group of companies moves in giant strides towards the new federal states and Eastern Europe. Jokey takes over the Formaplast company near Dresden and modernizes the plant from the ground up. To this day, our innovative bathroom range is created here, from the idea to the finished product plus logistics. In addition, we also produce plastic packaging and technical plastic parts with our 160 employees at the Sohland site.
Opening up international markets.
Jokey recognizes the opportunities of globalization early on and expands into neighboring European countries starting in 2000. In the meantime, 60 percent of our products are manufactured in other European countries or exported there. Today, the Jokey Group is a leading international manufacturer in its three divisions: we are broadly positioned with our high-quality bathroom range, the development and production of plastic packaging and the production of precision components for the automotive and computer industries. The Jokey family of companies includes around 2,000 employees at 15 production sites in Germany, France, Poland, the Czech Republic, Serbia, Belarus, Turkey, Algeria, Egypt and Canada.

As a family business, we think long-term. Our strategy for the future is based on three main pillars: healthy growth, ecological practices, and social responsibility. We believe that successful business requires a conscientious attitude towards people and nature. It is our goal to become climate-neutral by 2030.
Our mission as a pioneer in the field of sustainability is to do business in an environmentally friendly, climate-neutral way. Until Jokey is able to work in a CO2-neutral manner in its entirety, we have set ourselves the goal of using all energy sources efficiently, using valuable resources sparingly, and reducing emissions to a minimum. To achieve this, we work closely with a network of NGOs, stakeholders, and authorities.
We are committed to transparency and sustainability with the use of FSC-certified wood and paper products. The FSC system ensures that forests are used in accordance with the social, economic, and ecological needs of both present and future generations. We regard compliance with applicable laws, regulations and conventions that have been ratified at national level as a matter of course.
Our top priority is to manufacture high-quality, sophisticated products. It is with this in mind that our Research & Development team has been successfully working on optimising the weight of our finished products for many years. Not only does this save valuable resources, it also reduces fuel consumption and pollutant emissions during transport.
We are constantly striving to achieve the highest possible energy efficiency classes for our products. In the process, we always endeavour to play a pioneering role in our industry. Using energy efficiently is of fundamental importance to us across the entire Jokey Group. We take responsibility for and are committed to continuously improving energy-related performance and our energy management system. This is certified through regular audits in accordance with DIN EN ISO 50001:2018.
