Kampf Schneid- und Wickeltechnik

What Kampf Schneid- und Wickeltechnik does

Kampf Schneid- und Wickeltechnik, operating as Kampf GmbH, is a German specialty machinery manufacturer headquartered in Wiehl, Germany, with a branch production facility in Dohr. Founded in 1920 and now a subsidiary of the Jagenberg Group (which traces its roots to 1878), Kampf designs and builds industrial slitting and rewinding equipment for web-shaped materials. The company self-identifies as the world's largest manufacturer of slitting and rewinding technology, with over 100 years of industry experience. It employs 51-100 people directly and operates as part of a 1,500+ person parent group with international subsidiaries in the USA, UK, and China.

The company's product portfolio is organized across four primary use-case segments: flexible films, flexible packaging, technical applications (including lithium-ion battery separator films, capacitor films, and electronic-grade materials), and paper and label. Core offerings include slitter machines (PrimeSlitter, ProSlitter, ConSlitter, TitanSlitter, TechSlitter, MicroSlitter, BSFSlitter, Unicon, UniSlit II), winder machines (PrimeWinder, ConWinder, BSFWinder), and a complete BSF converting line for battery separator film processing. The 2025-launched TitanSlitter SilverLine features all-electric design with no hydraulics, 700 m/min operating speeds, 25-second acceleration, and modular construction with delivery as fast as 4 months. The proprietary the@vanced IIoT platform and my@vanced customer portal provide Industry 4.0 integration and digital customer support. Differentiated technical features include non-stop winding technology, regenerative braking energy systems, and intuitive HMI with guided setup functionality.

Kampf operates a primarily capital-equipment, one-time-sale revenue model with custom-configured machines priced via direct consultation. The Clever Deals program extends pre-configured machines with faster delivery to mid-market converters. GTM motion is enterprise field sales supplemented by event-driven engagement at major industry exhibitions such as K-Show 2025. Lifecycle services — including 24/7 support, spare parts, upgrades, and a training academy — create ongoing service revenue streams tied to the installed base. Customer engagement is routed through multilingual corporate channels (EN, DE, CN, FR, IT, ES), a "Together" corporate magazine, and active LinkedIn, YouTube, and trade-show presences.
