Kohrmann Construction Machines

What Kohrmann Construction Machines does

KOHRMANN Baumaschinen GmbH is a German construction equipment dealer and rental provider headquartered in Bühl, Baden-Württemberg, with 14 branches split between southwest Germany (7 sites) and east Germany (7 sites in Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt). Founded in 1947 and part of the HOCH Gruppe since 2018, the company buys, sells, and rents construction machines for construction companies, garden and landscape contractors (GaLaBau), civil engineering and infrastructure firms, and municipalities. Its portfolio spans mini and compact excavators (Takeuchi), city excavators and dump trucks (Hydrema), wheel loaders and telehandlers (Kramer), dumpers (Bergmann), compaction equipment (BOMAG), hydraulic breakers (Epiroc, FRD), quick couplers and tiltrotators (Lehnhoff, OilQuick, Kinshofer, MTS, Holp), and sweeping and snow-clearance attachments, alongside the proprietary TERROX attachment brand.

The company's revenue model combines equipment rental (with optional trained operators and transport logistics), new equipment sales, used equipment sales (via Mascus and the WirKaufenDeinBagger buying service), manufacturer-independent workshop and mobile service (engine, transmission, hydraulic, undercarriage, UVV inspection), and spare parts retail through the Baumashop24 e-commerce platform. A separate digital construction site offering integrates Trimble/SITECH positioning and machine control (GPS/GNSS, UTS, Laser) onto rental machines and trains operators. The excav PILOT, launched in 2026, is a proprietary mobile 3D-GNSS assistance system for mini and compact machines, priced at €16,750 with ±15 mm accuracy and integration to NTRIP RTK correction data and EU-roaming SIM connectivity.

Kohrmann's go-to-market is primarily enterprise field sales supported by 14 physical branches with dedicated sales, service, and rental park functions, complemented by self-serve channels (rent.hoch-gruppe.de rental portal, baumashop24.com e-commerce, website contact form) and organic social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. The leadership team consists of Managing Directors Mathias Hoch, Dr. Nino Hoch, and Fabio Hoch, all members of the founding Hoch family that controls the HOCH Gruppe conglomerate.
