No matter the industry, our goal always remains the same: to accelerate our businesses so they can achieve long-term, multi-generational success. Throughout our history, we’ve held true to our core values of passion, integrity, teamwork, caring and excellence. At Krause Group, we like to turn these values into action, giving 10 percent of our profits to worthy causes. Our core values were on display on our very first day back in 1959, when co-founders Tony Gentle and Bill Krause started Kum & Go in Hampton, Iowa. Fast forward 60 years, and our people-first, purpose-based approach has resulted in a thriving and sustainable business portfolio. With the father-son team of Kyle Krause (Chairman and CEO of Krause Group) and Tanner Krause (CEO of Kum & Go) leading the way, we at Krause Group continue to set our sights high, focusing on business development that leaves a lasting impression on local communities. Global reach with a local touch and a strong foundation of business fundamentals. That's what sets Krause Group apart.
