Klinger: a new drive for innovation from Italia
The branch has increased its turnover from 8 to 29 million over five years. Now, the new KRP25 indicator paves the way for bespoke solutions for industrial boilers and highly complex sectors
From a sales branch to a development hub for the group. Klinger Italia is strengthening its role within the Austrian multinational specialising in valves, level indicators and industrial seals, bringing to market a product designed and developed entirely in Italia.
The new product is called KRP25 and is a level indicator designed for manufacturers of industrial boilers. It is a specialised application, but above all the first step in a strategy aimed at shifting the group’s product range from standardised products towards solutions tailored to the needs of individual sectors.
For Klinger Italy, this marks the culmination of a period of rapid growth. The company, based in Rho, in the Milan area, has grown from a turnover of around €8 million in 2020 to €29 million in 2025, whilst maintaining, according to the company’s statement, double-digit profitability and a solid financial position. This expansion has been driven by organic growth, acquisitions and investments in skills and production capacity.
These figures have increased the Italian subsidiary’s importance within a group operating in 80 countries, with 2,900 employees and turnover in excess of 686 million. Klinger, founded in Vienna in 1886 by Richard Klinger, traces its history back to the invention of the liquid level gauge, which was patented by the family over 140 years ago and has since become a standard feature in various industrial plants.
The KRP25 is now seeking to build on that tradition. The solution has been developed to improve safety and operational efficiency, whilst simplifying production processes and reducing costs throughout the supply chain. The aim is not merely to add a product to the catalogue, but to consolidate Klinger’s position as a technology partner for manufacturers.
