KRANTZ .. this name stands for over 135 years of industrial history.

In the western most city in Germanyy in Germany, Aachen, close to the borders with the Netherlands and Belgium, engineer Hermann Krantz  founded the founded the company in 1882. After initiallinitially focusing on ventilation and and heating heating systems, textile machines quickly became another strong pillar of the company. As early as the 1920s, the company was not  only supply supplying German textile companies but was already active worldwide. Since then, the name Krantz has been synonymous with high-performance and high-quality machines in the field of finishing and discontinuous dyeing.

In 1992 the Krantz family decided to sell the company to the Deutsche Babcock Group. As part of the subsequent realignment of the company, the production of the dyeing machines was outsourced to an independent to an independent subsidiary in Turkey. Here, of course, great importance was attached to ensuring that the old quality standards  were fully guaranteed.
