German brand Kress to launch electric OPE in North American market via dealerships

The Kress brand, with its deep-rooted heritage in German engineering and design, is coming to North America with commercial outdoor power equipment (OPE) for lawn care and landscape professionals. As a part of the Positec family of brands, Kress Commercial will offer its lineup to commercial OPE professionals in North America.

“For decades, Kress has demonstrated its quality, durability and innovation in the European markets,” said Don Gao, CEO of Positec Group. “It is very exciting to bring this storied brand to the North American professional landscaper as the Kress brand launches new commercial-grade OPE in the U.S. and Canada.”

Built upon a reputation for innovation and pushing the boundaries in engineering and manufacturing excellence, Kress is well-established throughout Europe as a top-tier, professional-grade equipment manufacturer. As early as 1966, Kress introduced to the European craftsmen clean, quiet, professional grade tools. Today, with the brand’s introduction to North America, Kress’s proprietary technologies will now be available to commercial landscapers in the U.S. and Canada.

Kress will launch in North America in Q4 2022 in conjunction with the Equip Exposition in Louisville.
