About us

The Company

Founding

The company founder Johann Good, as production manager in an SME, had the task of clamping and manufacturing complex aluminum components. The basic problems were on the one hand in small lot sizes and on the other hand in the complicated workpiece geometries, which had to be stretched both on pull and on pressure. Despite intensive search on the market, no suitable clamping system was found, which fulfilled the catalog of requirements.
 Without further ado, he developed a novel clamping system that solved these demands quickly and safely.

On February 21, 1985, the public document about the founding of GOODJ Spanntechnik AG was erected in Mels. The core area at that time was only the production and assembly of the patented GOODJ clamping systems. For the sales a Swiss and a German representation were responsible.

Realignment

The economic crisis of the early nineties forced us to rethink our strategy as a producer of clamping systems. We decided not only to develop and produce simple, fast and safe products, but also to distribute them directly and to provide additional services. We changed from producer to system provider. Since 2001 GOODJ Spanntechnik AG also offers customized automation solutions.
