Ob modifizierte Standardprodukte aus dem Katalog oder Neuentwicklungen: wo das Standardsystem nicht ausreicht, haben wir uns auf individuelle Lösungen spezialisiert.

Von Anfang an begleiten und unterstützen Dich erfahrene Fachkräfte. Schon während der Ausbildung arbeitest Du an verantwortungsvollen und spannenden Projekten.

Zwei Mitarbeitende sprechen das nächste Projekt

Um auf die unterschiedlichen Bedürfnisse unserer Kunden einzugehen, werden wir die Anforderungen für Standardbau und Sonderanfertigungen noch stärker priorisieren. Kurzfristig verfügbar haben, was kurzfristig geliefert werden muss. Verlässlich liefern, was individuell gefertigt und benötigt wird.

Wir bieten ein umfangreiches Katalogprogramm mit Rohren, Rohrformteilen und Verteilersystemen im „Baukastensystem“.

What our employees say

As a trainee, I can say that everyone in the team is willing to share their knowledge and help me with my learning processes. The collaboration in our team is very good and there is a strong sense of cooperation. The open communication culture and the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects offer me a great learning environment.

Lennard, with KMH since 2023

We place great emphasis on teamwork. My department is characterised by the optimisation of processes; suggestions for changes for the team are listened to and implemented. I particularly remember being able to significantly reduce the processing time of a repair order to ensure customer satisfaction.

Peter, with KMH since 2024

If we have suggestions that can improve our daily work, we have the opportunity to put them into the feedback box. Management reads the suggestions and implements them as far as possible.

Heiko, with KMH since 2013

I particularly value the benefits such as Hansefit and further training. Opportunities for advancement are offered that also bring with them responsibilities in our areas. As employees, we are included in decision-making processes by managers and communicate at eye level.

with KMH since 2016

New colleagues should show initiative, be willing to take on responsibility and, of course, be friendly and reliable. At KMH, we value a positive and motivating working environment, in which team spirit and respect come first. We are offered a wide range of benefits that enrich our working life and support the work-life balance.

with KMH since 2022

My daily work routine is structured and offers challenges and varied tasks. The collaboration and team spirit are excellent; our team is young, open-minded and dynamic. I recommend that new colleagues should be open to new things and not be afraid of making mistakes.

with KMH since 2023

I prepare offers for the sales team and research freight and packaging costs. I am gradually expanding my knowledge so that I can also provide support for more complex requests. The support and understanding of my colleagues is of particular importance to me, especially when looking after sick children or when day care or school is cancelled. In such cases, the company allows me to work from home.
