About the Jagenberg Group
The Jagenberg Group is a group of machine and plant manufacturers based in Krefeld, specializing in solutions for roll-to-roll processes. The portfolio includes slitting and winding machines (Kampf), special machines for web processing (Kampf LSF), turnkey systems for printing, lacquering and coating of technical films (Jagenberg Converting Solutions) as well as machines for the paper, film and printing industries (WDB Systemtechnik). In the field of textile and carpet finishing, Kusters Calico (India) and Zima (USA) manufacture dyeing and finishing systems, particularly made of stainless steel. The offering is complemented by drive, automation and CE safety technology (Lebbing) as well as the IIoT platform the@vanced (Jagenberg Digital Solutions). The group was founded in 1878 as a family business in Düsseldorf and is today 100 % owned by Kleinewefers GmbH. In 2024 it generated revenue of around € 340 million with approximately 1,500 employees at seven business parks in Europe, China, India and the USA.
