Kress Elektrowerkzeuge

Kress is a German power tool brand that has manufactured electric motors exclusively for almost a century. Founded in 1928 by Christian Kress as a workshop for car electronics, it expanded into stationary workshop machines in 1964 and launched a professional range of portable power tools in 1969. The brand joined the international Positec group in 2017 and now focuses on cordless outdoor power equipment for commercial landscapers and demanding homeowners, including robotic mowers and the 8-minute CyberSystem battery platform.

The story started in 1928 when Christian Kress founded a workshop for car electronics. Right after its inception, Kress started designing and manufacturing DC and AC electric motors. In the beginning of the sixties, Kress decided to expand its production to a wider range of items. A new factory was put into operation in Bisingen, Germany, and manufacturing of stationary workshop machines began in 1964. In 1969, Kress launched a comprehensive professional range of portable power tools. In 1979 a new R&D center was established in Wattwil, Switzerland. The range was further expanded with a specific focus on cordless tools. Distribution was also enhanced to cover 60 countries through a network of specialized dealers. 2017 was a pivotal year in the history of the Kress brand, as it joined the international Positec group. Thanks to an injection of fresh capital and enhanced R&D capabilities, Kress went all-in into the development of cordless outdoor power equipment for commercial landscapers and demanding homeowners. Now it’s time for one more step: the end of dependence on fossil fuels. 2023 is the last major milestone in the almost century-long history of the brand. Kress is in fact launching the 8-minute CyberSystem, a next-gen battery system that boasts the world’s fastest-charging times.
