KUHN Group History

SINCE 1828, WE'VE BEEN ENGINEERING THE FUTURE OF FARMING

The story begins in 1828 when Joseph KUHN, a blacksmith, began manufacturing weighing equipment.
The first agricultural machinery was produced in 1864. The first sales outside France began in the late 1940s.
The first acquisitions were made in the late 1980s.

Since then, the KUHN Group has continued to grow on different continents,
building on strong roots and retaining the assets that have made it strong throughout its development:
a broad range of expertise that makes the brand unique and innovative,
recognized products and services, a global presence but still very close to its customers,
and actions that focus on the long term.

1828 - 1880

Joseph KUHN, a local blacksmith, started by crafting weighing equipment and later expanded into agricultural machinery. Today, our legacy continues in Saverne, where it all began.
