Kraft Brothers USA
Our new facility offers many advantages for our US clients:
• Production and Parts Storage in Kentucky
• Faster service with increases in manpower
• Same import quality, with domestic pricing.
Kraft began exporting to the USA in 1999, with Harold Hayes serving as our representative. In 2000, Uwe Kraft, Frank Kraft, and Hans Schneider purchased Sandberg Farm in Paris, Kentucky, to use as a storage area.
In October 2004, the Uwe Kraft Company in Germany established a permanent branch in the USA, named Kraft Brothers, Inc., situated near Lexington, Kentucky. This branch was overseen by Frank Kraft, a Master Metal Technician with extensive experience in the Horse Industry.
In 2005, production commenced at Sandberg Farm in Kentucky under the management of Kraft Brothers, Inc. As our business expanded, necessitating larger facilities and inventory space, we constructed a manufacturing facility in Winchester, Kentucky, completed in 2007 and open for production in January 2009.
The company product line grew over the next decade, requiring a building expansion and new additions to our production and installation teams. Kraft USA is now under the management of Cris Peysson, one of the very first employees hired for the US team.
We have garnered excellent references from esteemed establishments in the Lexington, Kentucky area, such as WinStar Farm, Taylor Made Farms, Oakwind Farm, Overbrook Farm, Payson Stud, Rosemont Farm, Ashford Stud, Stoneleigh Farm, Hopewell Farm, Three Chimneys, Winchester Farms, and more.
Several notable trainers who utilize KRAFT Horse Walkers include Mark Casse, Michael Dickinson, Bruce Jackson, Frank and Stacia Madden, Michael Matz, Michael Moran, and Carl Nafzger.
