The Kübler Group: Facts, Figures and Milestones

Umsatzentwicklung

The Kübler Group was founded in 1960 by Dipl- Ing. Fritz Kübler (†2003) and today is still 100% family-owned.

This means we can operate independently of banks and investors, which allows us therefore to react more quickly and flexibly to market conditions - our success is proof of this.

We were able to increase our turnover from € 7m in 1996 to over € 38m in 2010. Our goal is to achieve a turnover of € 45 million in 2011.

In addition to the main production facility, the Kubler Group now encompasses 6 overseas and one domestic subsidiary.

Mitarbeiterwentwicklung

The number of employees has also shown dynamic growth.

We attach great importance to high qualifications and ongoing training, as it is our desire to continue manufacturing most of our products in our German factories in the future.
In this way we will not only assure our high quality standards but also continue to create new jobs:

  • Production sites in Villingen-Schwenningen and Otterfing (Munich)
  • approx. 12% of our employees work in the R&D area
