We are Kettler from Dorsten - a medium-sized company with over 55 years of experience.

We at KETTLER GmbH have been living this mission statement for over 55 years. By consistently focusing on this, we have been able to develop into one of the leading companies in underground pipeline construction. Time and again, we have succeeded in setting milestones with innovative KETTLER brand products, particularly in the actuation and operation of valves.

KETTLER has always stood for reliability with the highest quality standards, both in our products and in all business processes, which we organize with sincere and binding communication with customers and suppliers.

With the KETTLER brand, you can rely on safety, trust and continuous development for the future.

We develop and produce extension spindles for the actuation and operation of above-ground and underground valves. Our customers are municipal utilities, supply companies in the gas and water sector and industrial companies with their own networks. The piping system is the backbone of every reliable supply. The quality of each individual component determines reliability and safety - today and in the future.
