History

The company has its roots in Kaiser+Kraft GmbH, which was founded in Stuttgart in 1945 by Helmut Kraft and Walter Kaiser and specialized in the shipping of industrial consumer goods. Following rapid expansion in the 1950s, the company also began to operate in other European countries in the 1960s. In 1985, Kaiser+Kraft was taken over by Gehe AG, also based in Stuttgart, and integrated into the mail order division, which from then on was managed under Kaiser+Kraft. In addition to the further development of the European markets, expansion now also focused on the North American market. Through acquisitions and newly founded companies, the Gehe Group division became the market leader in specialty mail order for office and consumer goods. In 1999, the Kaiser+Kraft division was spun off and renamed Takkt as part of Gehe's reorientation towards pharmaceutical wholesaling. In the spin-off, each holder of a Gehe share received one share in the new company. Takkt has been listed on the stock exchanges in Frankfurt and Stuttgart since September 15, 1999. [3]
