TeichmannGroup acquires crane manufacturer KRAFOTEC

The TeichmannGroup based in Essen has successfully acquired the traditional crane manufacturing company, the former TAKRAF GRESSE GmbH Kranbau Wittenberg, with all its employees and production sites. The company based in Wittenberg, Germany can look back on more than 130 years of tradition as a manufacturer of gantry cranes, overhead travelling cranes and container cranes and was the largest crane manufacturer in the former GDR (East Germany) with more than 150 manufactured container cranes and more than 500 manufactured gantry cranes.

KRAFOTEC perfectly complements the product portfolio of the TeichmannGroup

"With KRAFOTEC we have gained a long-established crane manufacturing company, that due to its tradition and experience is a valuable addition. With the newly acquired site, we will use the existing know-how in design, production and service to further grow but at the same time remain as flexible as possible being a medium-sized company. We will continue to offer the complete crane package to our KRAFOTEC customers - from the crane delivery to after-sales services such as our spare parts service. The synergy effects of the Teichmann Group in the area of service and maintenance with locations in Berlin, Eisenhüttenstadt, Rostock, Erfurt, Wittenberg, Essen, Duisburg, Augsburg, Mannheim and Basel furthermore enables us to provide excellent reaction times for our customers." comments Dipl. Kfm. Ralf Teichmann, Managing Director.
