Kögel works extends by an additional 6.5 hectares

Jürgen Steinbacher: "We are expecting growth in production volume"

The Burtenbach trailer manufacturer Kögel remains on course for success. The company is showing continuous growth, and this has, in recent times, had an impetus created by large scale European orders and orders associated with the field trails of the German Ministry of Transport. This works extension will ensure that Kögel is best prepared for the expected increase in orders in the coming years as well as securing its production facility in Burtenbach. In addition to the existing 40 hectares of the Kögel works site, which accommodates office buildings, production halls and storage areas, the company has acquired an additional 6.5 hectares. The extension of the facility will be directly in connection with the existing works premises.

"We are extending the Burtenbach facility because we expect an increase in production volume in the coming years“, says Jürgen Steinbacher, Managing Director Finances, Controlling and Personnel at Kögel.

Kögel, a brand with a tradition going back more than 75 years, and which has achieved first place throughout Europe, is once again at the centre of things with their unmistakable experience and competence. With the takeover of Kögel in 2009, Ulrich Humbaur assumed an active entrepreneurial role which gave the brand the stability and continuity it deserves. This is further consolidated by the very sturdy equity ratio that Ulrich Humbaur has made available to his companies. Kögel has rediscovered itself by returning to the strengths that made it great in the first place: A passion for transport. Quality characterized by engineering. This is the innovation which these names deserve because they bring relevant customer value. And the reliability of an owner-led family company with long-term perspectives. In addition to products for the forwarding industry we now have versions for the construction industry, a field which is not entirely new for Kögel.
