Who we are:
Our name does not mean 2 Kilometres as many people believe. It comes from the German words 2 Komponenten Maschinenbau, which in English means Two Component Engineering. Confused? You can just call us 2KM!
The story begins in Germany, in 1976, where two friends partnered up and started building robust and innovative machines to improve existing production processes. 38 years later, still a family oriented company, we are able to provide solutions worldwide. With five main sites and many distributors globally, we keep expanding while remaining loyal to our values of excellent quality and human approach.
2 Komponenten Maschinenbau GMBH
Based in Marienheide (60km east of Cologne), the 70 members of staff work hard to maintain the quality and performance of the best adhesives metering systems in the market. Innovation is reflected in the development of the new systems and with the help of distributors across Europe, there is no country that 2KM cannot help advance their process.
Founded in 1998, 2KM (UK) Limited, based in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire started from a handful of people and has grown significantly through the years. In 2012 new, bigger premises were acquired to accommodate the continuously growing number of projects and team members.
