What KUNZ Trading & Production does

K.U.N.Z. Handels & Produktions GmbH (operating as KUNZ Trading & Production) is a privately held German manufacturer of stationary and mobile power generation equipment, headquartered in Mannheim with an annual production capacity exceeding 1,000 generator units built to EU standards. Its product portfolio spans mobile diesel generators (KZM Series, 19-513 kVA prime power using Perkins engines and Stamford alternators), stationary diesel generators (KZS Series, 9-2,258 kVA), heavy fuel oil (HFO) medium-speed power plants (up to 2,000 kW per unit, capable of burning diesel, HFO, or vegetable oil), mobile solar-diesel hybrid generators, ground power units (GPUs) for aviation, flood light generators, and portable gasoline sets, supplemented by enclosures, control/synchronization panels, and standalone solar solutions.

The company sells primarily to industrial enterprise customers via direct, quote-based sales with custom engineering, targeting oil and gas (its largest disclosed vertical, anchored by 7 HFO power plant contracts with the Iraqi Ministry of Oil across 5 refineries), construction and infrastructure, commercial and healthcare facilities, and remote/off-grid applications. It is a subsidiary of Manar Al Hadharat, led by Managing Director Qusay Al Dabbas, and operates branch offices in Baghdad, London, and Izmir that provide 24/7 after-sales service and spare parts.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through custom-configured hardware sales supplemented by after-sales service and spare parts; pricing is non-public and quote-based. ISO 9001:2015 certification underpins the German-engineering value proposition, and partnerships with Al Zawraa Company (Iraq, 2020) and k-leuchten.de (2023) extend its LED-lighting and local-manufacturing footprint.
