Kraft & Bauer, based in Holz\u00adger\u00adlin\u00adgen, Swabia<\/strong>, specia\u00adli\u00adzes in the deve\u00adlo\u00adp\u00adment, produc\u00adtion, instal\u00adla\u00adtion and servicing of fire protec\u00adtion systems for a wide range of machine tool types. The focus is on auto\u00adma\u00adtic, micro\u00adpro\u00adces\u00adsor-control\u00adled extin\u00adgu\u00adis\u00adhing systems, with which the company equips machi\u00adnes from leading manu\u00adfac\u00adtu\u00adr\u00aders and renow\u00adned indus\u00adtrial compa\u00adnies. In addi\u00adtion to its head\u00adquar\u00adters in Holz\u00adger\u00adlin\u00adgen, the company, which employs around 110 people, has 19 service loca\u00adti\u00adons in Germany, Switz\u00ader\u00adland, Italy, Slova\u00adkia and China. <\/p>\n The systems from Kraft & Bauer are used in machi\u00adnes with an increased fire risk, such as turning, milling and grin\u00adding machi\u00adnes that work with parti\u00adcu\u00adlarly high precis\u00adion and speed. The sensor-based protec\u00adtion systems detect a fire and auto\u00adma\u00adti\u00adcally initiate the extin\u00adgu\u00adis\u00adhing process. They are either instal\u00adled directly on the machi\u00adnes by employees or supplied to the machine manu\u00adfac\u00adtu\u00adr\u00aders as kits. Regu\u00adlar inspec\u00adtion and main\u00adten\u00adance of the extin\u00adgu\u00adis\u00adhing systems rounds off the company\u2019s range of services. Kraft & Bauer thus offers fire protec\u00adtion tech\u00adno\u00adlogy that guaran\u00adtees opti\u00admum func\u00adtion\u00ada\u00adlity, effi\u00adci\u00adency and reliability. <\/p>\n With Syng\u00adroh Capi\u00adtal, Kraft & Bauer has gained a long-term orien\u00adted part\u00adner for the next phase of the company\u2019s growth. The invest\u00adment company of the Grohe family stands for a unique combi\u00adna\u00adtion of sound finan\u00adcial exper\u00adtise, indus\u00adtry expe\u00adri\u00adence and entre\u00adpre\u00adneur\u00adship. It will contri\u00adbute its expe\u00adri\u00adence and know\u00adledge to Kraft & Bauer as an active share\u00adhol\u00adder and thus support the company in its further inter\u00adna\u00adtio\u00adnal expan\u00adsion and the deve\u00adlo\u00adp\u00adment of the service and instal\u00adla\u00adtion busi\u00adness, as well as tapping into new growth poten\u00adtial. Syng\u00adroh Capi\u00adtal does not invest fund-linked and without prede\u00adter\u00admi\u00adned matu\u00adri\u00adties and can ther\u00ade\u00adfore think and plan for the long term in its invest\u00adments. This provi\u00addes Kraft & Bauer with the desi\u00adred opera\u00adtio\u00adnal continuity. <\/p>\n Richard Grohe, Mana\u00adging Direc\u00adtor of Syng\u00adroh Capi\u00adtal, said: \u201cWe are enthu\u00adsi\u00ada\u00adstic about compa\u00adnies with convin\u00adcing product and service ideas and entre\u00adpre\u00adneu\u00adrial fire \u2014 in the case of Kraft & Bauer, the latter is not only inher\u00adent in the system in a figu\u00adra\u00adtive sense.

This success would not have been possi\u00adble without entre\u00adpre\u00adneu\u00adrial passion. A convin\u00adcing range of services, coupled with Swabian engi\u00adnee\u00adring spirit and a high level of dyna\u00admism, are excel\u00adlent prere\u00adqui\u00adsi\u00adtes for further growth.

The fact that we are now handing the company over to a renow\u00adned entre\u00adpre\u00adneu\u00adrial family like the Grohes is the best possi\u00adble scena\u00adrio.
