Kardex can trace its origins back to the 1880s, when the "Card Index System" was introduced in the USA. Over time, the company and its product ranges have changed greatly. However the creative culture within the organization has not changed and we continue to build upon the long list of industry firsts, which include the typewriter, calculator, file cabinet. Today Kardex manufactures computer controlled automated storage and retrieval systems for a wide range of applications including office, industry and retail, maintaining that well established tradition of providing increased efficiencies and productivity through innovation.

With over 75,000 successfully installed solutions all around the globe our extensive customer base is one we are extremely proud of , and is a fitting reflection of the hard work and dedication of our staff.

Since 1987 Kardex has been part of Kardex AG which is quoted on the Zurich stock exchange.
