Kaufmann Systems AG was founded in 1994 by Margrit and Bertram Kaufmann and is based in Hitzkirch, Swizerland, located between Zürich and Luzern. Their key distribution channel is to System Integrators with a regional focus on Switzerland and Germany.
During this time, they have managed to build a strong team with a wide expertise in sales, design and project management of storage systems for automated warehouses, with a special focus on self-supporting racking (High Bay, Rack Clad/Silo) projects.
Over the next two years, GMH will acquire the remaining stake in Kaufmann Systems until reaching a 100% ownership.
Frank Pohl, CEO of Gonvarri Material Handling says “With this acquisition, GMH is now even more prepared to offer an excellent `One-Stop-Shop` experience to the market and, in particular, to System Integrators. The enlarged Gonvarri Material Handling Automation Team has the proven competence & track record to design and deliver almost all kind of automation strorage equipment solutions.”
Bertram Kaufmann, owner and Managing Director of Kaufmann Systems AG says “Gonvarri Material Handling will give us a broader and stronger position for our customers and further opportunity to keep a sustainable growth.”
