Konig Moringen

What Konig Moringen does

KÖNIG Fachpersonal GmbH & Co KG is a family-owned German personnel services provider headquartered in Moringen, Lower Saxony, founded in Hamburg in 1965 and operating under the KÖNIG Group umbrella. The company runs two distinct divisions: KÖNIG Fachpersonal, which provides temporary labor leasing (Arbeitnehmerüberlassung) and direct placement (Personalvermittlung) of qualified workers to client companies in skilled trades (HVAC, plumbing, electrical), industrial production (metal processing, automotive), logistics, and office/administrative roles, and KÖNIG Profilsysteme, a sibling industrial division operating since 1984 that manufactures custom cold-rolled metal profiles for drywall construction and interior applications.

The company employs approximately 2,000 people under permanent contracts, distinguishing itself from gig-economy staffing models through GVP-tariff-based compensation, vacation and Christmas bonuses, up to 30 days annual leave, and capital formation benefits after six months of tenure. Service delivery is entirely branch-based: the company operates 20+ directly-owned locations across Germany (Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Frankfurt, Cologne, Dresden, Leipzig, Stuttgart, Dortmund, and others) plus four locations in Austria through the wholly-owned subsidiary REX (Vienna, Linz, Salzburg, Graz). A multilingual digital presence (German, English, Polish, Romanian, Croatian, Hungarian, Slovak, Bulgarian, Czech, Slovenian) supports recruitment of international workers, while the online application portal is operated by partner talent360 GmbH.

Revenue is generated primarily through markups on temporary labor leasing paid by client companies, supplemented by direct placement fees; no public pricing exists as all B2B contracts are individually negotiated. There is no proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML capability, and no public revenue disclosure — the firm presents itself as a "healthy, growing family business." The largest single strategic investment in the company's recent history is the approximately €10M specialty profile production facility opened at Moringen in 2021, expanding the Profilsysteme industrial division. Customer logos are not publicly disclosed; the company serves a broad base of enterprise clients across crafts, industry, logistics, and office sectors.
