History
It all began in 1980 in a garage, where the two company founders, Paul Kramer and Karl Best, welded together their first customer order, a pressure vessel. Kramer & Best Anlagenbau GmbH has since developed into a global company with over 165 employees. This dynamic development was made possible by Kramer & Best’s strong customer focus, adherence to deadlines, and high level of commitment on the part of its employees—all of which are key competitive advantages.
With every order, we put ourselves in our customers’ shoes. Problems are not always predictable, especially with complex systems. Here, too, Kramer & Best Anlagenbau GmbH supports you with its expertise. This high level of customer focus pays off for us. Many customers are regulars and trust Kramer & Best.
