history

This article or the following section is not adequately provided with supporting documents ( e.g. individual evidence ). Information without sufficient evidence could be removed soon. Please help Wikipedia by researching the information and including good evidence.

The company has its roots in Kaiser + Kraft GmbH, founded in Stuttgart in 1945 by Helmut Kraft and Walter Kaiser, which specialized in the shipment of industrial consumer goods. After a rapid expansion in the 1950s, the company began to be active in other European countries in the 1960s. In 1985, Kaiser + Kraft was taken over by Gehe AG , also based in Stuttgart , and integrated there into the mail order division, which from then on was run under Kaiser + Kraft. In addition to the further development of the European markets, the expansion now also concentrated on the North American market. Through acquisitions and the establishment of new companies, the Gehe division rose to become the market leader in the specialty mail order business for office and consumer goods. In 1999, the Kaiser + Kraft division was spun off as part of the realignment of Gehe on pharmaceutical wholesaling and renamed Takkt. In the spin-off , each holder of a Gehe share received one share in the new company. Takkt has been listed on the Frankfurt and Stuttgart stock exchanges since September 15, 1999.
