• Cutting and winding machines
  • Approx. 650 employees worldwide (2025)

    Kampf’s cutting and winding technology is a critical success factor in the production and processing of web-shaped materials. The company’s recipe for success lies in quickly transforming customer demands into innovative solutions. The renowned machine builder is well-equipped to handle its projects thanks to leveraging crisis periods to develop an efficient product data management system. Under significant time pressure and during ongoing operations, Kampf implemented CIM Database in 2009. The decisive factors for choosing CONTACT Software’s solution were its flexible configurability and future-proof scalability. Kampf benefits from CONTACT’s PLM system with accelerated order processing and halved error costs – and plans to significantly expand the solution.
