FJ = Finger-jointing
It appears from you link that you text might be about timber.
Hence finger-jointing/finger joint (FJ) might apply.
Finger-jointing is generally translated into German as Keil[ver]zinken oder Keil[ver]zinkung. Manchmal sieht man in deutschen Texten aber auch finger-jointing oder FJ</>.

FJ stands for finger jointed.
This is when they connect smaller pieces of wood together with joints that look like interlacing fingers (hence the name of finger jointed). This means that small sections can be joined to form a longer section. It is usually much cheaper than normal pieces of timber but each section can differ markedly in terms of colour / grain / look etc.

Finger jointing is recognized as the most stable method of creating length joints between two solid wood or wooden composite components. It is used in order to produce very long wood components or to separate out branches and cracks which lower the strength. Using finger joints it is possible to joint short pieces of wood into one, in principle, infinitely long strand of wood.
