About the company
Almost every camper in Europe knows Truma. We have been marketing accessories for caravans and motor homes since Philipp Kreis established the company in 1949. In over 70 years, Truma has developed into a successful international company that is still family-owned.
It all started with a gas lamp, which the company founder assembled himself in his living room. These days, Truma is a system supplier of heaters, air conditioning systems, hot water generators, manoeuvring assistants and gas supply for caravans. With the Truma iNet System, digital networking is also increasingly finding its way into everyday camping – and the search for innovative ideas continues every day. It also helps that many of our employees are also passionate campers: they not only develop products, they use them too. It is precisely this passion and identification that makes Truma successful.
Truma develops and manufactures products at its site in Putzbrunn near Munich and has branches in the UK, Italy, Sweden, the USA, China and Australia. Over 800 members of staff across the globe give their all everyday to provide an excellent service and reliable premium products to our customers.
