In infrastructure solutions, hatches are not just metal covers – they are security,  endurance and  functionality  integral part. EJ, the world's leading manufacturer, raises the standards of hatches to a new level. In France  EJ products combine cutting-edge engineering and practical design, providing solutions that last for decades.

Who is EJ?

EJ is part of the EJ Group, a global leader in the production and distribution of infrastructure access solutions. The company's history dates back to 1883, when the first foundry was established in East Jordan, Michigan, USA.
Today, EJ operates on six continents, having production and sales centers in 13 countries and providing solutions for projects all over the world. This means that EJ has global reach, but local knowledge and standards.

Why are EJ shutters a special choice?

1. Larger internal opening on a floating hatch – clear opening

EJ floating hatches are designed with comfort and safety in mind. Their inner opening is larger, which means maintenance is easier and access is better.
If you weigh more than 60 kg, you can fit through our floating hatch! This shows how practical and spacious these hatches really are.

2. Production capacity that speaks for itself

EJ French factory produces 15 truckloads of goods per day, which means 24 tons of metal processing every day. This is an impressive volume. EJ ensures fast delivery and stable quality.

3. Unique in the world

EJ is the only factory in the world, which produces a hatch from metal, cast iron and composite. What's more, these materials can be combine, to create the perfect solution for your project. This gives architects, engineers and urban planners the freedom to choose exactly what suits them.
