Our company brochure gives you an insight into what we stand for, what makes our product portfolio stand out and why thousands of customers in Europe and around the world rely on the quality and expertise of Thomas-Krenn.AG.

Our company began with an idea: a simple, uncomplicated online store for individual server systems. When Max Wittenzellner and namesake Thomas Krenn founded the company in 2002, such stores were still the absolute exception. Customers could put together the server they wanted individually from high-quality components and order it with just a few mouse clicks, which ultimately led to the development of our intelligent online configurator. And so it came about that a good idea quickly became something more.

Starting out as a two-man garage business, the then Thomas-Krenn Serverversand GmbH and its workforce grew rapidly. Initially based in the Waldkirchen Innovation and Start-up Center, the company soon needed larger office and production premises. This was followed by brief stopovers in the neighboring Röhrnbach and the Freyung industrial estate with 1250 square meters. At this time, the company was also transformed into Thomas-Krenn.AG. In 2007, the current location in Freyung finally provided enough space to be prepared for future growth. As early as 2012, the company building, which initially measured 2500 square meters, had to be expanded to almost double the size. The success story continued even after the two founders left the company in 2014. In 2017, Thomas-Krenn.AG opened a new branch in Tübingen, which actively supports the sales staff. The number of employees at Thomas-Krenn continues to rise steadily and, thanks to clever forward planning, the Freyung site still offers enough space for future expansions.

At Thomas-Krenn, we are always there for our customers and want to pass on our experience and knowledge to them. In February 2008, we created our own Thomas-Krenn Wiki in an effort to always offer our customers the best possible solution for their needs. Our experts , together with the two Austrian-based Knowledge Transfer employees, address practical issues, help with installation instructions and provide background information on relevant server technologies. Gradually, the Thomas-Krenn knowledge platform developed into a permanent point of contact for technicians in the IT environment - with over 500,000 page views per month.

Today, we are one of the most successful manufacturers of individual server and storage systems on the market. However, we have not forgotten our roots: our headquarters in Germany are still located in Freyung in the Bavarian Forest. This success has been made possible above all by our 130 dedicated and expert employees - many of whom have been with the company since the early years. They form the heart of Thomas-Krenn.AG and with their ideas they continue to help shape the future of the company.
