Over 50 years of Kurz Karkassenhandel
Environmentally sound. International. Flexible. Competently. And fast: For over 50 years, Kurz Karkassenhandel has stood for professional waste tire disposal. With the rapid expansion from disposal to environmentally conscious recycling, Karl Kurz is a role model for the industry and set "milestones".
In 1955, the Swabian entrepreneur opened the first tire dealership in Echterdingen near Stuttgart - his company is Europe's oldest trading company for carcasses and used tires. Karl Kurz is therefore a man of the first hour in his branch. And even today, with his know-how, he is one of the most important contacts in the field
scrap tire disposal.
The entrepreneur recognized the potential of the proper disposal of used tires and the increasing importance of recycling early on. He kept improving
the processes and relied on innovative technologies to ensure ecological disposal.
In addition, Karl Kurz established branches in Europe and Africa, thereby increasing his expertise in the markets of this world.
In all his work, the issue of ecological disposal is one of his main concerns. In order to further strengthen and promote environmental protection, Karl Kurz founded the ZARE working group in 2003 as one of the first members - a working group of the Federal Association of Tire Trade and Vulcaniseur-Handwerk eV The main concern of ZARE is to support the specialist trade for the environmentally friendly disposal of used tires by certified companies to raise awareness.
Professional disposal has gained enormous importance in recent years, as around 700.000 tons of old tires are produced in Germany every year. And the increased environmental awareness of motorists is also making increasing demands on companies.
In an exemplary manner, Kurz Karkassenhandel fulfills the guidelines for professional waste tire disposal 100% and thus contributes to protecting our environment. Based in
