AL-KO KOBER SE, founded in 1931 by Alois Kober as a small locksmith's workshop in Grosskötz near Günzburg in Bavarian Swabia, is today one of the leading suppliers of automotive technology, gardening implements and air-conditioning technology with a total of 45 locations and around 4,000 employees worldwide. Now in the third generation, the family-owned company is still run as its founder intended – with a constant striving towards quality, innovative spirit and sophisticated functionality coupled with contemporary design, comfort and reliability.
STEMMER IMAGING will form a self-contained division of the AL-KO Group alongside the existing segments of air conditioning, gardening technology and electronics.
STEMMER IMAGING will continue to be managed by the long-standing management team. Christof Zollitsch is responsible for sales, order processing, marketing and finance, while Martin Kersting takes care of technology, support, software development, production and information technology.
