About TAKKT Our Vision

We are shaping the working worlds of tomorrow

Our worlds of work are undergoing a process of fundamental change. This development is being driven by megatrends such as increasing digitalization, automation and the use of artificial intelligence, mounting competition for labor, the ever-growing importance of sustainability and much more flexible forms of work in line with the New Work trend. We are helping our customers to shape the working worlds of tomorrow. Our organizational structure, with its three divisions, reflects this objective. Each division has a focused product portfolio that is primarily geared to a specific work environment.

In Industrial & Packaging, the work environment is the factory floor or warehouse in the manufacturing and logistics industries. Office Furniture & Displays specializes in products for service providers. This includes equipment for working at the office or from home. The FoodService area offers products required for meal and food preparation and presentation in hotels, restaurants and catering establishments. Together with our customers, we are creating attractive working environments for employees and customers alike, laying the foundation for shared success.

About TAKKTOur Worlds of Work

Our Worlds of Work

Industrial &

Packaging

Supply chain disruptions, increasing automation and the advance of digitalization are just some of the trends that are fueling lasting changes in the working environment in production and logistics.

Transport packaging no longer just needs to be functional and protect the products being transported. It is also used to get advertising messages across and is expected to meet

sustainable criteria. People, machinery and workpieces­ are networked with each other, and processes are becoming faster, more individual and more efficient. At the same time, requirements regarding documentation and occupational safety are becoming increasingly stringent. Our products and consulting services in the Industrial & Packaging division help prepare our customers for these new challenges.

The I&P division offers a focused product portfolio in Europe for the work environment on the factory floor and in the warehouse in the manufacturing or logistics industries. Typical customers include manufacturing facilities such as mechanical engineering companies or automotive suppliers, but also service and retail companies and public institutions.

The KAISER+KRAFT and ratioform sales brands have previously operated individually in the market. In 2023, the division's brand landscape was streamlined and unified with a relaunch of the kaiserkraft sales brand in order to expand the product range and strengthen

cross-selling. Under the new brand identity, kaiserkraft offers a wide range of products from the areas of operating, warehouse and office equipment as well as packaging products. This includes, for example, pallet lifting trucks, swivel chairs and special-purpose products such as environmental cabinets and containers for hazardous materials as well as collapsible boxes, package padding, shipping pallets and stretch film. The packaging specialist ratioform offers a product range that includes a wide variety of shipping packaging products. BiGDUG and OfficeFurnitureOnline offer a wide range of office furniture and business equipment in the UK, Gerdmans and Runelandhs in Scandinavia.
