The KraussMaffei Group (Munich, Germany) announced June 6 it is investing in the German second-hand machinery start-up GINDUMAC GmbH (Kaiserslautern, Germany). 

"The investment fits very well into our concept of marketing second-hand machinery internationally," says Dr. Frank Stieler, CEO of the KraussMaffei Group. "We are not only expanding our portfolio but are also strengthening our digital platform-based offering and are establishing the right prerequisites for further growth."
