Köppl
Köppl GmbH is a German manufacturer of machines and attachments for professional use in agriculture and forestry. Köppl brand implements and single-axle tractors are also used in gardening and landscaping as well as in the municipal sector. The family-run company is based in Entschenreuth, a district of the Lower Bavarian municipality of Saldenburg.
History of the Köppl company
The company, which currently employs around 80 people, can look back on over a hundred years of company history. Köppl was founded in 1896, when master blacksmith Emil Köppl took over the forge in the village of Entschenreuth. Even in the early days, when agricultural work was still largely dependent on horse-drawn carts, the company's aim was to develop tools that made work easier. The success of the implements developed by Köppl led to a rapid expansion of the product range and production facilities in the following years. Delivery of the first power tools began in 1948, marking the start of specialisation in the current product range. This was followed by economically successful years in which Köppl developed into a specialist for basic and attachment equipment and further expanded its market position.
The Köppl product range
Today, the extensive range includes a variety of products for a wide range of applications. These include mowing, mulching and soil cultivation as well as a range of other specialised and maintenance tasks. The extensive dealer network with support centres throughout Europe offers comprehensive customer service on site and a large range of spare parts and rental equipment. In the field of motorised mowers, various Köppl machines are equipped with ESM knife blades, finger bars and double-knife cutting units. The professional double-blade cutting units from Ennepetaler Schneid- und Mähtechnik are an ideal addition to Köppl mountain mowers. Motorised mowers with components from Köppl and ESM form professional mowing systems that can easily cope with the demands of commercial agriculture and forestry. Patented ESM mower blades, as used in a number of Köppl motorised mowers, are extremely robust and enable a long service life and the best mowing results. Köppl mowers with ESM double cutter bars enable vibration-free and blockage-free work, even in difficult conditions, and are characterised by low energy consumption.
