KAMADUR industrial knives

What KAMADUR industrial knives does

KAMADUR industrial knives B.V. is a Dutch private limited company founded in 1991 and headquartered in Bleiswijk, the Netherlands. It manufactures and distributes industrial knives and wear parts — granulator knives, guillotine blades, three-knife trimmer blades, knife holders, and shredder blocks — for compounding, converting, graphic/packaging, recycling, food, and metal processing customers. Products are built on CNC precision machining with a triple-tempering heat-treatment process and offered in multiple steel grades (D2/1.2379, HSS 18% inlay, ASP/PM, and proprietary tungsten carbide grades branded Longlife and Genesis), with optional PTFE, TiN, plasma, and ceramic (Topcoat Plus) coatings.

The company operates a direct field-sales go-to-market supported by wholly-owned subsidiaries in the Netherlands, Germany, France, Great Britain, and Turkey, with additional sales-manager coverage extending into the Americas, Asia, and Africa. It earns revenue primarily from hardware sales of knives and wear parts, supplemented by professional and managed services including sharpening, coating, laser marking, precision measuring and reverse-engineering design, custom packaging, framework-order stocking/call-off logistics, and industrial-item sourcing. Pricing is quote-based rather than published, with framework agreements and bulk-buy options for recurring-consumption customers.

KAMADUR positions itself as a one-stop OEM-compatible alternative for 50+ machine brands, combining ex-stock availability, custom manufacturing from drawings or worn samples, and a bundled service portfolio that targets reduced downtime, extended blade life (claimed up to 10x with TC inlay), and consolidated procurement for industrial knife buyers across Europe, the Middle East, the Americas, and Africa.

Broad incumbents

• Zerma: German size-reduction machinery manufacturer (granulators, shredders, pulverizers) that competes in the recycling segment with both OEM equipment and wear-parts. Competes with KAMADUR for recycling customer spend, particularly on the granulator knives Zerma-branded machines consume.
• Atlas Cutting Tools: US distributor and manufacturer of industrial cutting tools and machine knives with focus on metalworking and manufacturing applications. Adjacent competitor with broader SKU range and stronger North American presence.
• DoALL Industrial Products: US-based broad-line industrial cutting tools and saw blade supplier with aftermarket sharpening services. Larger, more diversified distributor/manufacturer operating in adjacent cutting-tool categories.
• Röhm GmbH: German manufacturer of clamping, gripping, and drilling technology with adjacent industrial cutting tool products. Larger, more diversified incumbent with overlapping precision metal-cutting capabilities.

Direct peers

Most direct comparable to KAMADUR in product portfolio (granulator, shear, slitter blades) and customer verticals (recycling, converting, graphic/packaging).
• Bommer & Lohse: German industrial knife maker for paper, film, and packaging converting. Comparable specialty knife manufacturer with overlapping customer base in European graphic and packaging industries.
• Cincinnati Industrial Machine & Knife: US industrial knife manufacturer and refurbisher serving paper, film, foil, and packaging converters. Directly comparable in product mix (shear blades, slitter knives, machine knives) and full-service offering model.
• CB Manufacturing: US-based industrial knife manufacturer and refurbisher serving recycling, plastics, paper, and metal processing. Directly comparable business model combining knife manufacturing with sharpening/refurbishing services.
• Niederl Industriemesser: Austrian industrial knife manufacturer producing machine knives, granulator blades, and shredder wear parts for the recycling, plastics, and metalworking industries. Closely comparable niche competitor with similar blade categories and DACH-region customer base.
