A FAMILY-RUN BUSINESS

A leading water and wastewater specialist.

In January 1926 – nearly a century ago – Franz Xaver Kuhn opened a plumbing business in his hometown of Höpfingen, Germany. Over the years, KUHN GmbH has expanded and now has over 170 employees and approximately 18,000 m² of office and factory space and markets its products and services internationally. KUHN GmbH has developed into a successful manufacturer of wastewater treatment equipment and building services while remaining a family-run enterprise throughout its history. Over 100 apprentices have completed vocational training with KUHN GmbH.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AND PLANT CONSTRUCTION

KUHN GmbH produces high-grade quality machinery equipment such as screens, washing presses and grit washers for the headworks of wastewater treatment plants. In the meantime, KUHN is the largest and most experienced German manufacturer of Archimedean screw pumps. KUHN machinery and equipment has been installed in Europe, Asia, North and South America, Africa and Australia.

WATER IS LIFE

“Water is not a commercial product like any other but, rather, a heritage which must be protected, defended and treated as such.” (the EU Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC)

We identify with this statement very strongly. Providing people with clean drinking water and purifying it after use is our goal. Clean water – clean energy – that’s what we are here for!
