80 years of progress - for working environments that are already thinking about tomorrow.
At kaiserkraft, we have been shaping the future of business equipment since 1945 - with innovation, reliability and the ambition to keep improving. The small mail order company has become a leading European omnichannel provider of business, warehouse and office equipment - with strong brands such as kaiserkraft and ratioform under one roof.
What drives us? The conviction that progress only comes about when solutions are considered holistically: sustainable, digital and customer-orientated. That's why we develop customised offers - from the product idea to delivery and beyond.
We have taken many steps in recent decades: our own production, expansion into over 20 countries, digital transformation. Today, we are working to make workplaces more efficient, safer and more sustainable - and to empower our customers in their day-to-day work.
"Empowered to work best" - that is our promise. For 80 years. And for everything that comes.
"For 80 years, the iconic kaiserkraft brand has stood for innovation, quality and reliability in B2B omnichannel retail. What began as a mail order concept in 1945 has developed into a leading provider of operational, warehousing, logistics and packaging solutions in Europe. With our many years of experience, digital expertise and sustainable focus, we are ideally positioned to continue making our customers' working environments more efficient, productive and sustainable in the future. We would like to thank our customers, partners and employees for their trust and look forward to the future together!"

Join us on a journey through our company history
1945 - A vision becomes reality
Helmut Kraft and Walter Kaiser found their company in Stuttgart with a clear idea: businesses should get exactly the equipment they need - simply by catalogue and direct mail order. The beginning of a success story.
1957 - We lend a hand ourselves
In order to serve customers even better, kaiserkraft starts producing its own transport equipment. First in Solingen, then in 1971 in its own factory in Haan.
1988 - Across the pond
With the acquisition of C&H Distributors, kaiserkraft enters the US market - and finally goes international.
1994 - Design meets function
With the acquisition of Topdeq, kaiserkraft appeals to design-orientated customers for the first time. At the same time, the Pfungstadt warehouse grows to 21,000 m².
1996 - Even closer to our customers
New branches in Switzerland and the Netherlands, followed later by France, Belgium and Austria. Europe is growing - and so are we.
1997 - Logistics in a new dimension
26,000 m² in Kamp-Lintfort become the largest kaiserkraft logistics centre. To this day, the heart of our Europe-wide supply chain.
1999 - A big step: IPO
kaiserkraft becomes part of TAKKT AG and goes public. At the same time, the Gerdmans Group strengthens our network in Northern Europe.
2020 - New look, clear direction
With the claim "Equipped for tomorrow", the company positions itself as modern and international - as a forward-looking business outfitter.
2021 - Even more power for Eastern Europe
With 8,700 m² of additional warehouse space in Brno, kaiserkraft is ensuring faster deliveries and greater efficiency.
2023 - Stronger together: kaiserkraft. works.
kaiserkraft and ratioform grow together. The goal: even better solutions for companies - all from a single source.
2024 - Sustainability? Let's do it!
kaiserkraft produces 1.39 MW of climate-neutral electricity with a new photovoltaic system. Sustainability becomes the company's focus.
