The company J.A. Becker & Söhne was founded in 1897 by Jacob August Becker as a craft enterprise. They performed locksmith work as a service for the local industry. Already at the beginning of the last century the serial production of spindles for manufacturers of woodworking machines was started. Only a few years later, the previous subcontracted part was turned into its own final product: Fruit and grape presses. At the end of the twenties, hydraulics was used as a further development of the mechanical spindle. It was obvious to use the power of hydraulics not only for pressing but also for lifting. Thus, at the beginning of the thirties, the production of the products that are still typical of the company was started.
The development of the lifting platform kept pace with the development of the automobile, so that in today’s delivery program of the now oldest, still existing lifting platform factory in Europe, a complete lifting program, for passenger cars up to the heaviest special vehicle, is available.
Parallel to the development of the lifting platforms, the design and manufacture of compressors took place. Today, the range extends from small handyman compressors to industrial compressors, for example, for driving electrical high-voltage switches or for filling breathing air cylinders for diving and disaster services.
In recent years, JAB has specialized in particular in high-pressure compressors for nitrogen compression and for vehicle refueling in natural gas tank systems.
