50 YEARS OF PFT

The PFT brand is unique!

Just like the history of our successful company,
which began over 50 years ago with Knauf's Gipsomat department.
In October 1972, the department developed into an independent company:
PFT Putz- und Fördertechnik GmbH

Today, PFT stands for expertise that has grown over several generations,
with deep roots in the industry.

Join us for an exciting year full of events.

We would like to thank you in advance for 50 very happy years and look forward to those yet to come.

    50 years of PFT

    Our PFT quality and the durability of our machines have made us a company with a global reputation. PFT machines are tirelessly in use in over 115
    countries around the world. With more than 450 sales and service centres, we are a reliable partner when it comes to productivity on construction sites worldwide. Our 200 employees ensure reliable and trouble-free use of machinery on the building site.

    PFT - ALWAYS AT YOUR SITE

  • 50 years of PFT

    From the "RIVER" to the "BUILDING SITE"

    For many years, the PFT slogan was:
    WE ENSURE FLOW OF PRODUCTIVITY
    And we are still doing that today:
    PFT machines and PFT employees are working tirelessly for you, to making labour conditions on construction sites worldwide as pleasant as possible thanks to the best possible machinery. To make sure we communicate this philosophy even more clearly to the world, in 2017 we developed the new PFT slogan:
    PFT – ALWAYS AT YOUR SITE
    This allows us to express even more clearly that we are always working by your side - and on your tailored construction site solution.
