Established in 1871 by Klein, Schanzlin, and Becker, the company began manufacturing valves in 1872 and has continued to grow and evolve ever since. Today, the KSB Group operates globally, with a presence on every continent through its own network of sales and marketing offices, manufacturing sites, and service operations.
