KUHN from 1828 to 2018: 190 Years of Excellence A force for the future!
Founded in 1828 in the Alsace, in the heart of Europe, the KUHN brand has progressively become a reference in agricultural machinery through its active and sustainable contribution, with an ever renewed capacity for innovation, to the modernisation of agricultural businesses on all continents.
Many major innovations have been developed within the KUHN Group. Exclusive solutions have been launched in all areas; increasingly innovative initiatives to maximise return on investment in hay/silage making, bedding & feeding, soil preparation, crop protection and landscape maintenance. The company has filed more than 2000 international patents over the years.
The KUHN Group uses its vast experience to prepare for the challenges ahead. The world of farming and the requirements of producers are changing fast; the size of farms is growing, markets are globalising, consumer demands are greater and technological advancements are manifold (digitalisation, connectivity, intelligent data management…).
«Today, more than ever, we believe in the future of agriculture and our industry. Our 190 years of experience and the commitment of our staff, combined with the performance of our distribution networks that ensure proximity with customers, enable us to look to the future with passion and confidence «, explains Thierry Krier, Group CEO. «We are obviously proud of this longevity, but above all we want to associate the loyalty of our Customers and Partners around the world, without them none of it would have been possible».
The KUHN Group is present in about one hundred countries today, with over 5000 members of staff based in 11 production sites and 11 distribution sites around the world. The company’s 2017 revenue increased by 13,2% to reach 966 Million euros.
