250+ Years of Quality. 250+ Years of Innovation. 250+ Years of You.
In 1775, the foundation of what would become a global leader in equipment manufacturing was laid. Kolbus proudly marked its 250th anniversary, celebrating two and a half centuries of "exceptional quality and service” and are continuing our legacy.
What began as a small village smithy in Rahden, Germany, has evolved through the industrial revolution, the digital age, and into the era of smart manufacturing. Today, Kolbus stands as a premier name in the production of high-end machinery for the packaging and bookbinding industries.
