About Kress

Kress has been manufacturing electric motors exclusively for nearly a century, never once producing an internal combustion engine. Unlike traditional brands that are adapting to environmental demands, Kress has always been electric-first. Founded in 1928 by Christian Kress in Germany, the company began with car electronics and quickly expanded into DC and AC motor production.

By the 1960s, Kress was producing workshop machinery and, by 1969, launched a full range of professional portable power tools. With R&D centres in Germany and Switzerland, and distribution across 60 countries, Kress built a reputation for dependable, professional-grade equipment.

In 2017, Kress joined the Positec Group, accelerating its focus on cordless outdoor power equipment for commercial landscapers and demanding homeowners. In 2023, Kress introduced the CyberSystem, a next-generation battery platform with the world’s fastest charging time: just 8 minutes to full charge. This marks a major milestone in Kress’s mission to eliminate fossil fuel dependence in outdoor power equipment.
