JOAB manufactures and sells specialized truck bodies—skip loaders, hook lifts, flatbeds with cranes, and refuse collection vehicles—primarily for Nordic recycling and hauling contractors. The tech stack is standard Microsoft enterprise (Office, Azure, Power BI, Intune), and hiring momentum is decelerating across operations, finance, and manufacturing. Current projects cluster tightly around inventory optimization, supplier strategy, and data-driven procurement, signaling an internal push to tighten cost and supply-chain efficiency rather than product expansion.
JOAB is a privately held manufacturer based in Göteborg, Sweden, with 201–500 employees and over 50 years in the truck-bodybuilding industry. The company designs, builds, and distributes skip-loader systems, hook-lift mechanisms, flatbeds equipped with cranes, and refuse collection vehicles (RCVs), as well as serving as the exclusive distributor of HMF cranes in Sweden and Finland. Customers include private and municipal recycling contractors, logistics operators, truck manufacturers, and other bodybuilders. The product line emphasizes fuel-efficient and electric-compatible designs (EcoDrive range), and the company holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification. Recent capital investment enabled conversion to fossil-free heating in the main production facility.
