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 19,900 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.

KOSTAL stands for long-term thinking and entrepreneurial responsibility. Together, we ensure profitability and financial stability, creating the foundation for sustainable growth, innovation, and future readiness.
