Welcome to our special area of the wide world of engineering!

KOLBUS operates around the world and we engage actively with the world around us. We ourselves are at home in Rahden, in north-west Germany, where the company has been based since 1775. From these deep roots in a largely rural area, we became famous with machines for industrial bookbinding. We are working on new technologies for creative, sustainable product solutions made of cardboard, paper and board. Productivity and efficiency in production are our daily focus.

Mature technical solutions enable maximum production and process reliability for our customers - this is what we are committed to.

A history of accountability

At KOLBUS we are skilled at generating a synthesis from apparent opposites. For example, we're a forward-looking company with a strong record of innovation; at the same time we have deep roots in 115 years' experience with bookbinding machinery. KOLBUS has been a family-owned company for 240 years. This balance between continuity and innovation is fundamental to our success.
Today's shareholders and employees are well aware of their responsibility towards past and future generations. This is the reason why training and career opportunities for each and every employee are all-important. We know that we have to work together to achieve our goals, taking what is good from our past and building a sustainable future on it. We want a future with secure workplaces in an environment that not only allows, but also promotes, economic and social growth. This is our vision of entrepreneurial success.
