The Jankel group of companies were founded by founder Robert Jankel starting in 1955. In its early years, Jankel provided specialist design and manufacturing services to improve the performance of rally and racing cars. By 1970 Jankel had established Panther Westwinds and was manufacturing production sport cars and coach-built touring limousines for VIP customers. Jankel then diversified into coachwork for the likes of Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Mercedes-Benz, specialising in armoured, Head of State vehicles. In 1997 Jankel branched out into producing vehicles for the UK MoD and Police.[1]
The company's current UK HQ is Hamm Court Farm, Weybridge, Surrey. The current Chairman of Jankel Group and Jankel Holdings Inc. is Andrew Jankel, son of founder Robert Jankel.[1]
Jankel is now a $100 million business. From around 30 employees when current chairman Andrew Jankel took over the company, Jankel now employs over 500 people globally; 150 in the UK; circa 75 at each of two facilities, Weybridge and Rustington, 80 in South Carolina in the US, and 270 in Jordan. Jankel has a joint venture in Jordan with King Abdullah II Design and Development Bureau (KADDB), Jordan Light Vehicle Manufacturing LCC which was established in 2003. Jankel's US subsidiary, Jankel Tactical Systems, was founded in 2008[1][2] and US turnover is now in the region of $35 million a year.[3]
The current portfolio of products and services is wholly defence and security focused and covers the design, development, prototyping and production of armoured vehicles, light tactical vehicles, counter terrorism vehicles and equipment, and customised occupant survivability solutions for military, security, government, aid agencies and NGOs.[1][4]
