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 employs ca. 20,000 staff worldwide. The number of employees at the foreign subsidiaries has steadily risen since the start of the 90s. Today, more than 80% of all KOSTAL employees work outside of Germany.

Financial solidity, innovation and long-term thinking: these are three principles that have made KOSTAL successful for four generations.
