Kramer Werke GmbH is a manufacturer of compact construction machines, located in Pfullendorf (Baden-Württemberg) Germany.

History[]

In 1925 the Kramer brothers started to develop and produce mowing machines and Tractors in Gutmadingen (Germany). These were the first ones built in Germany and a revolution in agricultural work. The company headquarters was moved to Überlingen (Bodensee) in 1952.

In the time from 1957 to 1958, a special department for industrial and construction machines was set up. It caused a sensation, when Kramer introduced in 1968 the first German wheeled loader with four-wheel drive and equal sized tires. A lot four-wheel steered machines followed this example.

In 1973 a great change happened, when the company decided to close down the business field "traktor" and focussed on construction machines. In 1987 the focus was adjusted to the four-wheel steering. This development was the basis for the construction of the first Teleloader.[1]
