OUR STORY
KLB Group was founded in 1996 by Flavien Kulawik and Jean-Marc Le Breton. At that time, companies had to cut costs in light of the ensuing recession that had impacted the Economy since 1993. The two founders discovered out that there was no consulting offering in the market to help companies reduce their purchasing expenditure. Hence, their decision to launch a service offering specifically within this niche.
Freshly graduated, they both lacked hands-on industrial experience to be fully credible consultants in this field. However, confident in their ability to deliver tangible results, they proposed to their first handful of clients to be paid only on a percentage of the savings actually achieved.
After just one year, the first few assignments were executed and were successful and the first company employees were hired: the journey had started.
Three years later, while the cost saving programmes offering enjoyed rapid growth for the company, Flavien and Jean-Marc identified a new opportunity in the Purchasing field. Companies in the market required highly skilled buyers in order to manage and deliver their projects. At that time, there were two major market trends to contend with: a scarcity in qualified, experienced resources, and; the reluctance of companies to commit to permanent employment so as to flexibly manage their employee-base for short-term projects. In order to help companies get the right resources at the right time and to propose diversified professional opportunities to purchasing professionals, KLB Group launched its Talent Services offering. The offering was completely new at that time for the purchasing industry and today, this pioneering milestone makes KLB Group the leading service provider of its kind in the countries where it is present.
As of the year 2000, KLB Group further developed its international strategy with bases in Germany, Spain and in the United Kingdom. Today, the company is an international group located not only in Europe but also in North America and Asia.
Since 2007, KLB Group has developed impressive expertise in another field: Logistics & Supply Chain Management. This new activity has developed swiftly contributing to a significant percentage of our turnover.
In its two fields, KLB group is dedicated in applying the corporate values that have made its success to date and that are intrinsic in the company’s slogan-signature:
“Performance. Everyday”.
KLB Group helps its client’s everyday, on the ground, to perform better.
