PIONEER SPIRIT
INNOVATIVE CHARACTER
Our origins are marked by the pioneering spirit that, in the 1940s, led our founder to establish himself in the rubber transformation sector, and our trajectory has been defined by the innovative nature, the true engine that has allowed us to evolve and become strong in a highly competitive market.
WE HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN THAT THERE IS NO POINT IN BEING THE FIRST IF YOU DO NOT KEEP MOOVING FORWARD
In line with this philosophy, in 1983 we specialised in the design, manufacture and marketing of rubber belts for the continuous transport of solid materials, and chose to work close to clients, developing quality solutions that match their requirements.
In our laboratory we develop specific mixtures for each client, depending on their needs and preferences. Our quality team examines each conveyor belt before it leaves our facilities to ensure client satisfaction.
KAUMAN IN THE WORLD
Kauman products are present in over fifty countries worldwide, and are the best example of the company’s commitment to quality and versatility, two of its key values along with the personalised support that Kauman provides to its clients.
We are aware of the new challenges of the international market, which is why we work hard to maintain the trust of our clients around the globe.
