From 1951 to now

We have been on the move

How do you go from fragmented data and AI experiments to a solid data foundation and scalable impact? That's what @Data Expo was all about – where nearly 6,000 data, tech, AI and business professionals in the Netherlands focused on building AI and data use models in a responsible and reliable manner, came together to share their expertise and knowledge.

At the event, Kramp got the opportunity to shed a spotlight on building an AI-ready data platform, illustrating the shift from writing manual code to steering AI agents and recapping the journey from the first data strategy in 2022 to the AI-first development workflow in 2026.

The true milestone of this initiative hasn't just been a boost in speed, but how it is actively breaking down barriers; empowering every data enthusiast at Kramp to achieve things they simply weren't able to do before.

Huge thanks to Data Expo for this opportunity to meet like-minded problem solvers and to share our expertise!

Our team was in Nuremberg last week for @GaLaBau 2026 – the leading trade fair for urban green spaces. We met customers and partners to talk about our assortment and services. Our dealer area gave people a relaxed place to catch up in person. And if you stopped by, you might have taken on the Spark Plug Challenge. It got a lot of visitors competing, and it got a lot of laughs too.

On each of the four days, we saw again how much expertise and ambition there is in the landscaping and forestry sector. For us, it was an ideal chance to show how we can help customers overcome challenges and grow their business.

A big thank you to all colleagues who made the show a success. And thanks to everyone who visited us!

Kramp is expanding its partnership with @Loncin Motor Co., Ltd. to further strengthen support for the European aftermarket. Through this long-term cooperation, customers will benefit from improved access to spare parts, warranty support, technical expertise and joint training across Europe.

As the need for reliable and efficient after-sales support continues to grow, we are combining Loncin’s power technology with Kramp’s pan-European distribution network and strong expertise in the engine aftermarket.

Together, we are strengthening local dealer support and making it easier to service, maintain and repair Loncin engines efficiently – building an even stronger service network for our customers.

A touch of red at this year's Management Summit. As part of our 75th anniversary, leaders from across all Kramp countries came together in Kramp red to reflect on where we've been, align on where we're going, and strengthen the collaboration that moves us forward.

Along the way, Rico Bakker🎤 reminded us that sometimes a bad idea can be the starting point of a good one. One thing that certainly wasn't a bad idea was Johan Kramp delivering products by bicycle back in 1951. In that same spirit of entrepreneurship, we wrapped up the summit with a team-building activity inspired by our roots.

Thanks to everyone who brought their energy, perspectives and ideas. Now it's time to turn them into action.

Normaal gesproken helpen we onze klanten met alles wat machines in beweging houdt. Afgelopen zaterdag waren het onze collega's die in beweging kwamen. Tijdens de Kramp Run gingen negen Kramp-teams de uitdaging aan op een uniek parcours, dwars door ons eigen magazijn. Tussen hydrauliekslangen, lagers en duizenden andere onderdelen kreeg Moving Forward letterlijk betekenis.

Met knallende muziek uit de speakers, een spectaculaire lichtshow tussen de metershoge stellingen en enthousiaste supporters langs de kant was het een dag vol energie, sportiviteit en teamspirit.

Dank aan alle lopers, supporters, vrijwilligers en organisatoren die deze editie tot een succes hebben gemaakt. Op naar de volgende editie!

When Jan Jouke Flokstra joined Kramp in 1994, he worked using the second personal computer ever in the company. Back then, he spent a big part of his morning swapping backup tapes, while colleagues entered orders through text-only terminals.

As Kramp celebrates 75 years of moving forward, Jan Jouke's story shows how technology changed over time. Over three decades, he has seen Kramp grow from a local business with backup tapes and standalone computers to a digital partner serving customers across Europe. But one thing hasn’t changed: great technology starts with people.

Want to shape the next chapter of Kramp's digital journey? We currently have 10 open Tech roles across Europe.

Last month, the biggest "Powered by Kramp" store in the Nordics opened its doors in Nivala, Finland. The 500 m² Kramp department came together in just two weeks. That took long days from our team, but the result was worth it. On opening day the shop and car park were full of customers!

The store belongs to Savernmaa, who opened the very first Powered by Kramp shop in Finland back in 2019 and expanded its Kramp section last year. Now they have built something considerably bigger. We're grateful for the trust they've placed in us three times over.

The Powered by Kramp concept behind it is simple. We help store owners plan the layout, choose the right product zones and install the whole thing, so they can focus on serving customers.

Online business keeps growing, but customers still want to talk to someone who knows their machine and their season. That's what a physical shop gives you, and it's why we think it's worth investing in alongside your online business.

Do you agree? Would you be interested in partnering with us to develop your store?

Last week, more than 120 colleagues from Denmark visited the upcoming Nordic Distribution Centre in Vejle, getting a first-hand look at one of the most exciting projects in Kramp's history. What was once a construction site is rapidly transforming into a future-ready logistics hub that will support the next chapter of Kramp's growth across the Nordics.

One of the standout moments was seeing the AutoStore installation taking shape. Teams are assembling what will become 86,000 storage bins, while robots already move across the grid, offering a glimpse of the technology that will power future operations.

But it wasn't just the technology that left an impression. Walking through the facility brought the scale and ambition of the project to life. The vast warehouse and advanced automation systems made it easier to imagine what will soon become a fully operational distribution centre serving customers across the Nordics. With go-live planned for Spring 2027, the journey is well underway.
