KAUP GMBH & CO KG

KAUP GmbH & Co. KG (KAUP) is the world's largest independent manufacturer of attachments for forklift trucks. Stationary systems and container spreaders for forklifts and cranes expand KAUP's product range. The offering also includes attachments for driverless transport systems and electronic attachments. KAUP has its origins in Aschaffenburg. A smithy was founded there in 1894, which later specialised in repairs for inland navigation and crane systems. This was the precursor to today's company. In the early 1960s, with Otmar Kaup at the helm, the company moved into the production of attachments for forklifts. With its many groundbreaking innovations and designs, over the past six decades, KAUP has succeeded in offering its customers the very best solutions for their material handling tasks. Today, the DIN EN ISO 9001-certified family company is a world-leading manufacturer of attachments for forklifts. It is now led by Holger Kaup, the fourth generation to run the firm. The company is now active across the world, with twelve branches, 19 independent representatives, and a powerful export department based in the company's headquarters. KAUP produces around 40, 000 attachments worldwide each year at its three sites. In addition to Aschaffenburg, the Asia-Pacific market is covered by sites in Xiamen in China, and Brisbane, Australia.
