Clear focus
on your success

At our four production facilities in Denkingen, Solingen, Frittlingen and Finnentrop, the Kauth Group combines extensive experience with state-of-the-art production processes. This makes us, as a family-run company, the leading technological company in the field of tube and forming technology, and the ideal partner for your fixture solutions. Because we do not rest on this success – we regard it as an incentive. In the same way that Friedrich Kauth developed tube technology in cooperation with a major car manufacturer, we too are working consistently to develop innovative fixture solutions. To make your products even more efficient, safer and to provide greater performance. All for your success.

"Being a family-run company means dealing with each other in a respectful way. The focus is clearly on people and their individual needs. Our employees live by these principles – and we lead by example."

Christian Kauth, Managing Director

Philosophy

INNOVATION BASED ON TRADITION

To help shape technological change within the metal processing industry, we rely on one clear constant: our pioneering spirit. Much may have changed since the company was first established in 1928 – but our passion for innovation has remained the same. We have also stayed true to our conviction of operating as a family-run company: which means that not only does the Kauth Group take its responsibilities towards its employees seriously, but also towards its social and environmental responsibilities.

Based on these values, the third generation of the Kauth family is now leading the company into a successful future with a current workforce of more than 450 people. We are all united by a single aim: to provide you with optimum advice from the initial concept stage right through to the end product in order to produce the best possible solution.

  • Machining area: 600 to 4,000 mm in length and 400 to 1,800 mm in width

Sustainability

We take responsibility

Environmental protection concerns us all. That’s why operational environmental protection is part of our corporate management to ensure that all measures are implemented in a targeted manner at all levels and departments of our company. But each employee is also responsible for environmentally conscious behaviour at their workplace.

This concerns both the application of energy-saving new technology that we use to offer our employees healthy working conditions and to reduce the burden on the environment to the unavoidable minimum as well as sensibly implemented energy management to save and effectively use the available energy.

Corporate environmental protection is a continuous improvement process that includes all activities to improve environmental protection in the workplace. Trust-based and open cooperation with the commensurate environmental authorities guarantees observance and knowledge of applicable statutory requirements. The environmental goals are in line with the environmental policy. Environmental goals are established, reviewed and assessed on an annual basis and published accordingly (internally through notices posted throughout the company, while external parties can view these on site).

FROM THE REGION, FOR THE REGION

The Kauth Group also sees itself as an active part of the community. That's why we provide support for numerous sports, educational and cultural projects. These include our partnerships with the HBW Balingen-Weilstetten handball team, the Wildwings ice hockey club from Schwenningen and other local sports clubs.

What's more, the Kauth Group supports school projects in the region and maintains close cooperation with Furtwangen University of Applied Sciences/Campus Tuttlingen. Cultural aspects are also important to us: along with the Denkinger Albabtrieb festival, we also sponsor the 'Fasnacht' carnival, numerous customs and traditions in Spaichingen and Denkingen as well as many other cultural associations.
