Over the decades Kaimann AS, which was the first Kaimann venture outside of Germany, has been a great success story and I have always considered the employees and staff there to be an integral part of the Kaimann family. From modest beginnings Kaimann AS has developed to become a business very different from anything we are involved in elsewhere in Europe. In most countries we form close partnerships with multiple insulation wholesalers in order to sell Kaiflex to customers but Kaimann AS has been the exception to this rule. By joining IPCOM the Kaimann AS business will benefit from being part of a much bigger and specialized distribution organisation and it will be well positioned for future growth.
Founded in 1992, Kaimann AS in Norway is a specialist insulation distribution business. For over 20 years Kaimann AS has been owned by Kaimann GmbH; in a transaction jointly announced by Kaimann GmbH and IPCOM today, this period of ownership has now ended. Effective from the 25th of September Kaimann AS is part of the IPCOM group.
Kaimann GmbH was founded in 1959 and is today one of the leading insulation manufacturers in Europe under the management of G. J. Kaimann. With a presence in more than 48 countries worldwide, Kaimann GmbH operates a 60.000 m² manufacturing facility in Hövelhof, Germany, and emphasises precision engineering excellence to produce the highest quality foam insulation products possible.
Arne Schultz, the responsible manager of Kaimann AS, is convinced of the synergies achievable for Kaimann AS by joining the IPCOM group and looks forward to the new business opportunities for the company.
