What kitmondo.com does

Kitmondo.com is an online B2B marketplace for used industrial machinery, operated by French private company Exapro S.A.S. and headquartered in Malá Strana, Czech Republic. Founded in 2006, the platform connects buyers and sellers of used equipment across 15 major categories including metalworking, food processing, packaging, printing, pharmaceutical, plastics, woodworking, textile, electronics, construction, and broadcast/audio machinery. The platform supports 40,000+ active listings from 10,000+ verified sellers and serves 500,000+ monthly visitors across more than 120 countries with 20+ language localization and multi-currency support.

The underlying technology is a self-serve classifieds-style marketplace with category taxonomy spanning 15 top-level categories and hundreds of sub-categories (e.g., 243 pick-and-place machine listings in PCB, 400 butchery cutter/slicer listings). The product surface includes free machine listing, verified buyer screening, personal agent support for sellers, and an integrated online auction capability. Buyer discovery is driven primarily through SEO, category browsing, and multilingual content rather than algorithmic matching; no AI/ML capabilities, APIs, or SDKs are disclosed.

The business model is a success-based transaction fee: sellers list machines at no charge, and the platform earns a commission only on completed sales. The platform serves both manufacturing and industrial companies sourcing equipment (across food processing, packaging, metalworking, etc.) and sellers including factories, dealers, and liquidators disposing of machinery. Average equipment prices range from €500 (displays/monitors) to €500,000 (broadcasting vehicles), making transactions high-value and infrequent. Cumulative transactions stand at 11,000 deals since founding, with 2,500 new machines added monthly to the catalog.
