hermosillo

Küster has established a new location in Hermosillo, Mexico which includes the production of gearshift systems.

Auftrag1

Küster has received a major order for window regulator drives with electronics from a European automotive manufacturer.

As a result, Küster continues to expand its position in this market. Production is scheduled to start in Ehringshausen in 2017.

This year the KÜSTER group celebrates its 90th anniversary. From a small workshop this family business has grown to become an established name in the international automotive industry.

In 1926 Wilhelm Küster along with his brothers Fritz and Heinrich started up manufacturing a wire braiding and wire sack sealing machine.

They continued to expand and when Wilhelm died in 1958 he left behind a successful medium sized enterprise.

In the decades that followed his sons Klaus and Dieter Küster further developed KÜSTER into an international corporate group. In this, our anniversary year of 2016, the KÜSTER group has over 3,000 employees in 16 companies across 4 continents and is well positioned for any challenges ahead.

50 Jahre Fensterheber

50 years ago, the first KÜSTER window regulator was in the VW Beetle 1200. This went into series production and laid the foundation for a great success story.

In 1978 KÜSTER started the serial production of the first electric cable window regulator in the Audi 80. Thus KÜSTER contributed decisively to the growing need for more comfort in vehicles.

In 1995 KÜSTER presented the first electronic control system for the VW Polo and paved the way for the entry into the world of mechatronics. Today electromechanical products account for nearly 70% of KÜSTER revenues.
