Jobst: Dedicated to Compression Stockings

Jobst was founded in 1950 by Conrad Jobst in Ohio, USA. Conrad used his inventing and engineering expertise along with his own experience as a venous disease sufferer to develop gradient compression garments to relieve the symptoms of venous insufficiency. Since then, Jobst’s commitment to helping those with venous conditions has never wavered.

The History of Jobst

Jobst was founded by Conrad Jobst, an inventor and engineer, after he discovered that the gradient water pressure when standing in a swimming pool massively helped with his chronic venous insufficiency. He transferred this effect into elastic stockings with great results. 

After his death, Conrad’s wife Caroline Jobst grew the business massively. She expanded their product ranges, including ready-to-wear vascular stockings, consumer support stockings and anti-embolism stockings.

Word of Jobst’s quality products spread quickly, and soon Jobst’s growing reputation meant they were selling to nearly every continent on the planet.
