Its’ global leadership in the field of electrical switchgears is based on high-quality products, customer support, uncompromising quality and international presence.
LORENZ NAIMER (RIGHT), FOUNDER AND FINANCIER, AND HIS PARTNER FRANZ KRAUS
We are a supplier of various switchgear for industrial customers in the fields of transport (railways, vehicles, ships, etc.), conveyor systems, lift systems, mechanical engineering and power generation and power distribution systems.
Take root
Our company's history began in the era of emerging electricity. Lorenz Naimer and Franz Kraus researched in the field of electrical special machines and founded the business in a small cellar in Vienna. By the early thirties, Kraus & Naimer had grown to 50 employees. In 1947 Hubert Laurenz Naimer took over the management of the company from his father Lorenz Naimer, which he developed into a global corporation through innovations and business drive until his death in 2004.
Expansion
We built a global production network starting in 1962. Additional to the first production in Vienna the second facility was built in Karlsruhe (Germany). 4 more production sites outside of Austria followed over the years (Brasil, USA, New Zealand, Hungary).
From 1968 to 1970 – the now biggest – production facility site was built in Weikersdorf (Lower Austria). In 1989/1990 a state-of-the-art assembly facility was added; in 2013 the facility was roughly doubled in size.
