Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

The history of Kann GmbH Baustoffwerke dates back to 1927, when the company was initially founded as a producer of pumice-lime blocks. In 1936, Paul Kann took over the company as managing partner, and since 1959 it has been wholly family-owned. An important milestone in the company's growth was the takeover of Grenzlandbeton in Übach-Palenberg in 1988. Since then, Kann has continuously expanded and modernized production facilities at this location. Most recently, the company Frima from Emden was tasked with an extensive modernization, during which numerous components were replaced, from the main hydraulics to the control system.
