The First Years
Kilde Automation builds machines, and we've been doing so from day one. Our founder, Stanny F. Kilde, began with repairing machines and tools in a small back room at a former cooperative laundry. However, he soon realized that it wasn't repairs but rather the construction of new machines that made good business sense. A few years later, Stanny F. Kilde started building custom machines.
The business quickly gained momentum, evolving over the years into two distinct directions: one focused on the production of wood processing machines, sold globally, while the other specialized in automated handling and processing machines for the steel industry.
