The Krüger story did indeed begin with a highly promising idea. And success came from combining innovative, high-quality products with an antenna for sounding out new markets and opportunities. The history of Krüger GmbH & Co. KG reads like the film script of an entrepreneur’s dream: Starting out in 1971 as a courageous project in the back-room of Krüger‘s parents’ wholesale firm, the business has since grown, 35 years later, to become a leading international company. It is a key market player in its industry – and currently has annual sales of some 1.6 billion euros.

The cornerstones of this market success are the company’s expertise and experience in the production of popular, quick-turnover products that set standards in price and quality. The success story is also closely linked to the innovative spirit of Willibert Krüger and his partners, nowadays supported by over 4,000 employees for whom the boss is always personally approachable.

What has also remained is the extreme passion for quality – quality that extends from using the purest raw materials and pioneering production methods, to initiating optimum logistics systems. The company‘s aim has always been to win the trust and confidence of its customers through quality and performance. Not only in Bergisch Gladbach, but also in its business relations in over 90 countries of the world.
