KSB’s legacy of innovation began in 1871 when Johannes Klein designed a groundbreaking boiler feed apparatus aimed at enhancing efficiency. His invention ingeniously captured steam produced by steam engines and returned it to the boiler as water. Together with entrepreneurs Friedrich Schanzlin and Jakob Becker, Klein established the foundation for what is now the KSB Group.
Since then, efficiency, reliability, and sustainability have driven KSB’s progress. The company's pumps and valves have consistently set new standards in various projects worldwide.
Throughout its history, KSB has remained resilient and focused, even during challenging times. Strategic investments have enabled the company to expand its business areas effectively. Today, KSB stands as a trusted partner to customers and a stable choice for investors, a position it aims to maintain well into the future.
With over 16,000 dedicated employees globally, KSB continues to embody the principles of its founders. Their passion and expertise ensure that KSB’s customers receive exceptional performance and innovative solutions.
