We are the innovation leader.

As innovation leaders, we set standards in technology, service and design that are geared towards optimum customer benefit and customer requirements, and we are always on the lookout for new ideas. If you have an idea that you would like to share with us, or if you are a start-up looking for a strategic partner and investor, you have come to the right place.

At Kärcher, we are constantly tinkering. Head down, sleeves up and off we go. This innovative spirit has brought about such pioneering inventions as the first portable pressure washer, the cordless window vacuum cleaner and the autonomous cleaning robot. Our driving force has always been the customer, their requirements and challenges. And with these becoming increasingly complex these days, we need to take an innovative and collaborative approach from the outset.

That's why we no longer develop solely cleaning products; we also link entire application worlds and open up completely new business areas. We encourage bold ideas, create more freedom for our employees and work hand in hand with external partners such as start-ups and inventors. They represent the starting point for most new products and services and the key to unlocking potential new technologies that drive our economy.

With this innovative spirit, Kärcher is shaping the cleaning world of tomorrow.

Through our innovation strategy, we pursue various approaches to develop pioneering solutions for the future challenges facing the cleaning industry. This involves developing and testing new ideas, improving existing processes and products and developing new business models.
