Founded in 2000 and operating with 11-50 employees under Managing Director Kai Unterberg, the firm positions itself as a Gold-Member of the TYPO3 Association and certified TYPO3 Solutions Partner, making TYPO3 the core platform underpinning virtually all client engagements.

The company's technical portfolio is built around TYPO3, with integrations including HubSpot for marketing automation, SmartRecruiters for job listing APIs, Cloudflare for international performance, DeepL for translation, Opencast for video, and Podlove for cookie-free podcast playback. Notable proprietary delivery capabilities include custom TYPO3 design systems with modular content elements, multi-source data centralization (location databases), interactive 3D visualizations, and cookie-free/tracking-free implementations achieving 99/100 Google Lighthouse scores. Selected client work includes a 50,000-content-element migration in three languages for MDAX-listed Gerresheimer, an interactive digital house for Stadtwerke Ratingen (TYPO3 Award 2024), a multi-year university platform for HFT Stuttgart, and a five-country international e-commerce operation for jonastone with 42,000+ organic ranking keywords.

KM2 generates revenue through a mix of project-based professional services (concept, design, development, online marketing) and recurring subscription support contracts structured in three tiers (Fundament, Performance, Exzellenz) plus a continuous TYPO3 upgrade service aligned to the 18-month LTS roadmap. Distribution is sales-led, combining direct enterprise engagement for named accounts with website inquiry and FGTCLB network referrals. Customer segments span Mittelstand SMBs, MDAX/corporate enterprises, federal government via GSB11, e-commerce retailers, healthcare/pharma, and higher education, providing a diversified but small-scale client base anchored by long-tenured relationships.
