With a rich history dating back to 1994, JST, formerly a part of the prestigious Swatch Group, has consistently pushed the boundaries of innovation in the automotive instrument cluster industry. Operating under the trade name SWITEC, we pioneered the design, manufacturing, and distribution of automotive stepper motors, setting the industry standard and becoming the undisputed leader. Over the years, we have continued to evolve, introducing a range of motor types, including a twin-shaft version designed for automotive applications.

In 2010, as part of the Swatch Group’s strategic shift, SWITEC’s activities found a new home with the JUKEN GROUP, and Juken Swiss Technology (JST) was born. This transition marked the beginning of a new era for us, highlighted by exciting developments such as LIN connected smart Clocks Programs.

The year 2012 witnessed a significant merger between the Juken Group and the FRENCKEN Group, leading to further growth and innovation for JST. Between 2012 and 2018, we expanded our portfolio to include LIN and CAN bus automotive instrumentation, serving renowned brands with personalized Gauges.

In recent years, from 2019 to 2021, in addition to our core products, we have specialized in crafting exceptional, limited-edition handmade Parts. Some of these exclusive timepieces have been produced in quantities as low as 30 pieces, underscoring our dedication to craftsmanship and uniqueness.

Throughout our illustrious 25-year journey, we have achieved remarkable milestones, including the production and sale of over 600 million stepper motors, 45 million drivers, and 2.5 million automotive car clocks and gauges. At JST, our legacy of innovation and quality continues to propel us forward, and we look forward to partnering with you to shape the future of automotive instrumentation and beyond.
