Turnover

Since the company was founded in 1912, the KOSTAL Group has succeeded in ensuring continuous growth. The reasons for the sustained business growth include a high degree of customer orientation and rigorous adaptation to the demands placed on the company arising from the continued globalisation of the world economy.

Employees

Today, KOSTAL has round almost 20,000 employees worldwide. The number of employees at the foreign subsidiaries has steadily risen since the start of the 90s. Today, more than 83% of all KOSTAL employees work outside of Germany.

Financial independence, a culture of innovation and a long-term focus on value: these are the three principles on which KOSTAL has built its success over four generations.
