With its 13 operating companies, Kersten is active in a number of
areas from distribution, electrical installations, car sales, tourism,
energy to various other areas. In 2006 Kersten decided to combine
companies operating in the same sector of the market in strategic
divisions. As a result, Kersten has 5 operational divisions where
customers are offered a total package of their products and services,
aimed at delivering solution to their customers.
The division structure ensures total cohesion and communication
within the division and encourages the exchange of best practices,
while generating synergies in business development activities and
yet leaving operating units with a high degree of autonomy and
accountability.
