[edit] History

The Holstein & Kappert GmbH was founded in 1868 by Carl Kappert and Louis Holstein in Dortmund. In 1979 Klöckner-Werke AG took control of 51% of the Holstein & Kappert GmbH.

At the same time, Seitz, Enzinger and Noll merged to the company SEN, from which Klöckner-Werke AG held 24% in stocks.

In 1993, KHS was founded as a merger from different companies Holstein & Kappert GmbH and SEN. The abbrivation "KHS" represents the three former companies: Klöckner, Holstein and Seitz.
