About Caljan & our passion for logistics automation

The first Telescopic Conveyor — nicknamed Long John — is introduced. It transforms trailer handling and sets Caljan on a path to redefine parcel logistics.

By the 1980s, “a Caljan” had become shorthand for a Telescopic Conveyor — a milestone that marked our technology’s place in logistics vocabulary.

Caljan establishes a presence in the United States, first in Colorado and later in Wisconsin, serving North American customers directly.

Deutsche Post DHL orders 1,575 Telescopic Conveyors — the largest single deal in our history at that time. A new office in Germany meets growing European demand.

Caljan.com launches, with multiple language versions following quickly. Early proof that global accessibility is digital as well as physical.

The Caljan Classic — originally SafeTrack — introduces pioneering safety features — full underguarding that set a new industry benchmark.

Caljan acquires LogComp, a German specialist in powered curves and labelling systems, which is later fully integrated into the Caljan brand to strengthen our automation portfolio.

The Caljan Performer is introduced — a future-proof Telescopic Conveyor, giving customers the choice between Classic and Performer models.

The SLAM line is introduced: Scan, Label, Apply, Manifest. A complete suite for document handling and specialised labelling.
