History of KEK

Our company was founded in 1991 under the name “Königsbrücker Edelstahl- und Küchentechnik GmbH” as a supplier to Thielmann AG and HAKA Metallwarenfabrik Hans Kappes from Weinbach. The original foundations of today’s success story were laid with 20 employees in Königsbrück.

In 1994, KEK started developing its own product ranges and marketing them independently. Furniture was manufactured for building materials laboratories and cleanrooms. This development was driven by an understanding that the young company would only be able to survive if it evolved from being a supplier and instead took the step to becoming an independent company. An analysis of the market situation revealed that stainless steel in particular was becoming increasingly important as a material for investment items.

With the relocation of our company in 1996 to the new premises in Laußnitz, we moved away from our original name and immediately started trading under the name KEK GmbH. The main reason for this was that our product range had evolved far beyond our initial portfolio of catering technology and equipment.

Since then, production space has been repeatedly expanded to its current size of more than 6,000 m².

Starting from 2000, the company TEKA Industrial, S.A. from Madrid acquired company shares in a step-by-step process. In 2006 TEKA also acquired the remaining shares in Thielmann AG. Since 2006 the TEKA Group, within the globally active Hertiage B group of companies (Zug, Switzerland), has been the sole shareholder.

Today, KEK GmbH is an efficient medium-sized company that operates both in Germany and on the international stage. One of the key prerequisites for this is our close cooperation with customers – from the initial idea all the way to the realisation of a technical solution. Our customers also benefit from access to a wide range of products manufactured across the group of companies – from modern weld-in basins to high-quality, innovative kitchen appliances.
The company currently employs over 100 people.

The success of our company KEK is based on our fascination with stainless steel as a material. We work with real passion. Our products are timeless. KEK is a reliable partner.
