Description of the ERP project:
GKD-Gebr. Kufferath AG is a market leader providing technical meshes for architecture, filter
media and process belts. The meshes being produced in the three GKD business divisions
differ considerably. Orders in the CREATIVE WEAVE area often have a batch size of one. But
GKD also produces in larger series. Some machines are producing the same product for
months. This mixture of large series, small series and make-to-order production is also a
challenge for the ERP system. A flexible, adaptable and future-proof system, such as abas
Business Software is needed, which can adapt to the constantly changing requirements
of GKD. With regular upgrades of the ERP system, which was implemented in 1991, the
market leader for technical meshes from Düren is provided with the newest functions and
technologies and is therefore always "up-to-date".

”We have been using abas Business Software since 1991. Through upgrades we
remain always up-to-date, in terms of technology and function. The software supports
our complex requirements optimally due to its flexibility and adaptability.
Without abas Business Software we would not be what we are today:
world market leader for technical meshes.“
