KRAL GmbH grows despite crises: 8.5%sales jump!

In the 2024/25 financial year, Kral GmbH has an impressive growth of 8.5 % and increased its business volume to 51.2 million euros. The company has emerged particularly in the markets of Asia, North America and Europe by market share profits, as managing director Christoph Matt. These sales increases are a sign of the resistance of the company, which acts in an increasingly difficult global environment.

Kral recently received an order of over 1.2 million euros in the maritime area in India, which further underlines success in the Asian market. With around 240 employees and an export rate of 97 %, the company shows the importance of international trade for its business model. The branches in Germany, Poland, France, the USA and China as well as over 45 international sales partners strengthen the global presence of Kral.

political challenges and strategic adjustments

Political developments in the USA and China represent new challenges for Kral. The company therefore plans to establish local production for the Chinese market in order to be able to react more flexibly to the circumstances. Despite these challenges, the development of core competencies such as flow measurement technology and customer -specific system solutions in Europe remains anchored.

In addition, the management has been expanded and now consists of Christoph Matt and Thomas Blum. Frank Hofer and Florian Grabher-Meier were appointed authorized signatory to set the course for the future expansion and efficiency of the company.

global trade dynamics and Krals positioning

While Kral is on the growth course, the landscape of global export is also changing. According to current data, goods worth around $ 24,900 billion were exported in 2022, with Europe and North America lost proportions while Asia increased. In 2022, the export share of Europe was 36.1 % compared to 35.5 % for Asia. China's influence on this development is immense, since China's share of the global export of 1.8 % in 1990 rose to 14.4 % in 2022, such as bpb.de emphasized.

A total of around 50.1 % of the World Card exports were traded in interregional, i.e. between different regions, while 49.9 % remained intraregional. This means that companies such as Kral who act internationally have to react cleverly to different markets in order to remain competitive. In Europe, the proportion of intraregional trade was 69 %, which speaks for the strength of the trade within the region, while in Asia it was also 56 %, as in a further analysis of [bpb.de] (https://www.bpb.de/kurz-knapp/Bahlen-und-fakten/globalization/247690/intra-und- interioral-handel/)

Dynamic development in global trade and the adjustments of companies such as Kral illustrate new challenges how important it is to think and act both regionally and internationally.
