kabkin - Product development & problem solving of tomorrow

kabkin is not a classic start-up - but the digital continuation of 170 years of engineering and cinematic precision.

Since its foundation in 1854, kabkin, formerly Emil Kaltenbach, has set global standards in the development, design and manufacture of motion systems. This tradition has resulted in over 15,000 realized kinematic solutions that are used today in almost all industries - from mechanical engineering and automotive to architecture, furniture and medical technology - from classic hinges to complex functional assemblies.

The result of this experience, expertise and the changing times is Kabkin - the combination of Kaltenbach and Kinematics. After seven years of development, a historic engineering & production company has become a forward-looking platform that makes functional product development as accessible as a search query.

kabkin transforms centuries of engineering knowledge into a new reality: Kinematics becomes a universal tool with which requirements, ideas or functional challenges can be turned into real products in three steps - from prompt to finished solution. Thus, kabkin stands for the free accessibility of engineering, design and product development: instead of searching or waiting, users simply formulate their functional requirements directly - and receive their customized result in the shortest possible time; or start with a preselection from a comprehensive product portfolio "ready to use".

What will emerge from this transformation? The transition from exclusive engineering to an open, prompt-based product world - or in other words:

A shift in practical problem solving: as a bridge between the digital and real world - as a 1:1 link between demand and product.

"Rotation & translation: basic genes of all kinematics. And therefore also functional requirements - symbolized by our "K" as a logical consequence."

Platform

The entire kabkin approach and the underlying value creation is only transported into reality and made usable through our prompt-to-product platform. With kabkin.com, we provide a digital on-demand world that enables the advantages of kabkin, namely the simple transfer of requirements and immediate processing and product translation without effort for the user; through an intuitive interface that allows free formulations, working with templates or the direct use of products.

Engineering

Our engineering forms the basis of the prompt-to-product approach. Specially trained engineers, specially developed software concepts and a comprehensive solution database allow us to respond to prompts of all complexities in an agile and maximally efficient manner - in the shortest possible time with individual support throughout the entire development process.

Manufacturing

Turning various prompts into real and reliable products requires flexible and proven manufacturing expertise. At kabkin, we have been manufacturing everything from hinges to complex assemblies since 1854. Our production is a colorful mix of classic machines through to the latest laser and 3D printing processes, which we adapt agilely to the most diverse requirements thanks to our modular concept; if necessary, we are also supported by a network of qualified partners.

Processes

Not only through certifications, but above all through experience and expertise from over thousands of solutions, the prerequisite is created so that not only a real but a reliable product is created that meets the requirements and needs 1:1. Regardless of complexity, quantity or industry: Our solutions work "in process" - and have done so for decades - with a complaint rate of less than 1%.

Services

A new convenience for all customers & users in all sectors, regions and requirements. Outsourcing of all expenses & time wasters and more capacity for other important topics. Product development accessible to all, taking into account individual possibilities and requirements. No more reducing your own requirements and demands to market offers and standards. The goal at kabkin is the precise translation of needs into a product that can be used on a daily basis, without restrictions.

Scalability

The scalability of our long-standing organization enables us to meet the maximum requirements. Some start with highly specific products with a volume of 1 unit per year, others need an efficient solution in large quantities. We are able to guarantee worldwide delivery of almost any volume with lead times between 2 and 5 days.
