Our history

The history of KSL staubtechnik gmbh goes back to the year 1949. At that time, calcium carbonate from our company’s own stone pit was processed to filler material.

Just two years later, the decisive course was set. Together with FOGRA (Research Society for Printing), KSL developed the world`s first anti set-off spray powder (K4/15).

Further development and application innovations drive us just as much as our quality standards. In this way we have established KSL worldwide as specialist supplier and quality leader.

In addition to the printing industry, we are now active in many other sectors and are certified for a wide variety of applications.
