In the course of time the SKS product portfolio were constantly extended. Now as always the timeless design and the functionality were an important point.
As of 1990:
The fall of the Berlin wall resulted in rehabilitation needs in the newly-formed german states. In consequence of the high flexibility in the production SKS can, in the past as well as in the present, customize the offers for the projects.
