Our history

After observing the inefficient manual cleaning of truck trailers in Rietberg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Felix and Patrick Kathöfer developed an automated solution based on their knowledge of the industry. The need for standardized, certified cleaning and the waste of resources confirmed their hypothesis. In 2019, they started developing a prototype in a converted chicken coop. In 2021 , they hired their first employees and finally founded KATMA as a limited company in 2022. Since then, KATMA CleanControl has been working on a cleanliness revolution in logistics with its fully automated cleaning machine. They received patents and became a member of Transfrigoroute Deutschland e.V. Recognized with awards and strengthened by partnerships, KATMA has also employed its first apprentice since 2023 and is proving its market relevance with a customer-oriented pilot series.
