Tradition

The beginnings were the most difficult. It all began as a part time activity in 1971, in the “workshop” of 3 square meters. It was a room where the deceased father used to perform all kinds of repairs typical on a farm in those days. The very first product was a »rubber cart«, a very popular cattle harness.

First winches were produced in year 1977, which makes Krpan the first producer of tractor logging winches in Slovenia. Over the years, Krpan grew to the biggest logging winch producer in Europe.

Winches KRPAN are the result of our own development, years of experience, knowledge and feedback from our customers. Least but not last, their performance has been tested under many different circumstances. KRPAN Winches are distinguished by their safety, functionality and quality.
