What Kongskilde Industries does

Kongskilde Industries A/S is a Danish industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1949 and headquartered in Sorø, Denmark. The company designs, manufactures, and sells pneumatic conveying, material separation, dedusting, and material handling systems for industrial customers in the plastics, paper, packaging, and recycling industries, and - until the August 2024 divestiture of its Grain division to Seko Industries - also served the agricultural grain handling market. Its product portfolio spans blowers (MultiAir, TRL), separators, filters (Duststorm, MMBF, K-Series), downsizing cutters and granulators (MultiCutter MCB, MultiDicer, KG inline granulator), inline feeders, all-in-one waste collection units (CUB/CUC), steel and wooden silos, and the CORE monitoring and service platform. Technology centers on air-pressure-based transport, separation, and cutting of light materials, with modular designs intended for integration into existing production lines.

The company monetizes primarily through engineered hardware sales: industrial customers are served via 9 direct sales offices across Europe, North America, Asia, and Africa supplemented by regional application specialists, while the former Grain division relied on a global dealer network. Revenue is supplemented by aftermarket spares, technical support, and service. Following the 2023 acquisition of German MATHO Konstruktion & Maschinenbau GmbH (operating as Matho Absaugtechnik GmbH), the company added a German manufacturing footprint focused on industrial extraction and dedusting. Under new CEO Oscar William Gunner (June 2025) and the announced "Smart Material Handling" strategy, the company is repositioning around integrated solutions, with the Grain business divested in August 2024 to concentrate capital and management attention on industrial pneumatic and material handling customers.
