KURRE Systems
MOTIVATED TOWARDS THE FUTURE
The name KURRE Systems represents a competent partner in all sectors of the cable and wire industry including specialized mechanical engineering – and a genuine family business.
The Kurre family ran the group of companies for over 30 years until Silke and Stefan Plaggenborg took over in 2014. Since then, they have incorporated two more companies into the group: KFM, Kabelmaschinenfabrik Müller, from the immediate local neighborhood, and Siebe Engineering from Neustadt/Wied near Bonn.
