The history of KAISER+KRAFT began 60 years ago: In 1945, Walter Kaiser and
Helmut Kraft founded the company under this name. Later, the
TAKKT Group
emerged from this company. At that time, the company was one of the B2B
mail order pioneers in Germany. Today KAISER+KRAFT is the largest division within

well as workshop cranes and entire portable office containers. This TAKKT division has approx.
950 000 customers and is Europe's market leader in business equipment via mail order.
