KG is a German rubber recycling and specialty products manufacturer headquartered in Salzwedel, Saxony-Anhalt, and operating as a privately held subsidiary of KRAIBURG Holding. Founded in 1991, the company processes approximately 60,000 tonnes of end-of-life tire rubber and technical rubber residues annually into high-quality finished products, operating one of the world's largest rubber recycling operations with a granulation capacity of 85,000 tonnes.

The company's core technology is proprietary granulation and compression-molding of recycled SBR and EPDM rubber, producing certified finished goods with third-party verified performance characteristics including ballistic absorption up to 10,000 joules (VPAM-ARG tested), fire classifications up to Bfl-s1 (DIN EN 13501-1), sound absorption ratings, and slip-resistance certifications. Manufacturing is concentrated at the Salzwedel production site, with a separate sales and marketing office in Tittmoning, Germany serving an international customer base across Europe and Japan.

Direct peers

• Regupol: German-headquartered manufacturer of products made from recycled rubber granulate (sports floors, impact protection, acoustic insulation, load securing). Closest direct competitor to KRAIBURG Relastec, sharing raw material base, product categories and primary markets in DACH.
• Ecore International: US-based manufacturer of recycled-rubber flooring and acoustic/safety products for fitness, sports and commercial markets. Comparable to KRAIBURG on feedstock (recycled tire rubber), product class (rubber flooring and sport surfaces) and use cases (fitness, athletic, playground).
• nora systems (Interface, Inc.): Premium vulcanized rubber flooring manufacturer serving healthcare, education, sports and public-commercial sectors. Direct overlap with KRAIBURG's SPORTEC, DAMTEC and KRAITEC in architectural rubber flooring with similar performance, durability and acoustic specifications.
• Mondo (Mondo Sport / Mondoflex): Italian manufacturer of sports surfaces and athletic flooring systems competing head-to-head with KRAIBURG's SPORTEC brand in indoor sports halls, running tracks and fitness installations across European and international tenders.

Broad incumbents

• Tarkett Sports: Sports and flooring division of the large Tarkett group, offering vinyl and rubber athletic surfaces. Competes with KRAIBURG's SPORTEC and DAMTEC at the specification level but operates across a much broader flooring portfolio rather than specializing in recycled rubber.
• Forbo Flooring Systems: Global flooring manufacturer with vinyl and rubber product lines specified in commercial, education and sports projects. Overlaps with KRAIBURG on commercial rubber flooring and acoustic/sport applications but is not a recycled-rubber specialist.
• Continental ContiTech: Industrial rubber division of Continental AG producing hoses, belts, vibration isolation and rubber composites. Adjacent competitor in vibration/acoustic isolation (DAMTEC) and industrial rubber applications, but operates as part of a global Tier-1 automotive/industrial supplier.
• Gerflor: French multinational flooring manufacturer (vinyl, linoleum and sport surfaces) competing with KRAIBURG's SPORTEC and EUROFLEX lines in European sports, education and commercial tenders; broad incumbent rather than a recycled-rubber specialist.

Emerging players

• Conica AG: Swiss-based manufacturer of polyurethane and rubber sports surfaces and elastic layers for athletics and indoor sports. Comparable niche overlap with KRAIBURG's SPORTEC reva elastic-layer and indoor sport portfolio, particularly in track and field and multi-purpose halls.

Regional players

• Dynamic Rubber (rubber recycling & granulate): European rubber recycler producing reclaimed rubber granulate used as feedstock by finished-product manufacturers. Comparable to KRAIBURG Relastec on the recycling/process side, with overlap in supply markets though focused upstream rather than on branded finished products.
