- 50–99 employees, founded 1974
- High-pressure pumps and components, B2B only

## Packaging Process

1. Naked spare parts → LDPE bubble wrap (Art. 7041120) + brown tape 50B (Art. 7041119)
2. Small parts → skin-packed (skin machine with Zappe skin board)
3. Plungers → PE protective net + then bubble wrap
4. Purchased parts → arrive in paper boxes / foam (kept as-is)
5. Small parts in plastic bags → placed in LDPE air cushion envelopes (`KAMAT-T-01` to `T-04`)
6. Everything → into cardboard carton (17 sizes, Wellpappe 1W/2W)
7. Empty space → filled with shredded paper (own machine from recycled cartons)
8. Carton sealed → filament tape 50F (Art. 7041118) + Kamat logo tape 50S (Art. 7041117)
9. If palletised → EWP wooden pallet + PP strapping + black LDPE stretch wrap

## Key Lesson: Don't Explode Combinatorially

The user initially thought each content combination needed a unique ID. With 4 fill materials × 2 small-part wraps × 2 plunger-net variants × 17 cartons = 272 theoretical combinations.

**Resolution**: The DoC lists ALL materials as "Kann-Komponenten". The ID only identifies the physical carton size. 17 IDs, not 272.
