History
Krauthammer was founded by Eric Krauthammer in 1971 in Switzerland. In this decade, Krauthammer’s activities were mainly focused on the Swiss market, but towards the end of the decade offices were opened in France and Belgium. In the 1980s Krauthammer expanded into the Netherlands, Germany, England, and Spain. In 1994, Eric Krauthammer sold his shares to Wolters Kluwer, a leading Dutch publishing group active in 30 countries. A proportion of the stock remained the property of Krauthammer senior management.
An employee buyout in 2000 created financial and psychological ownership and the possibility to operate and innovate independently. Wolters Kluwer reached an agreement to sell Krauthammer International, part of Wolters Kluwer Professional Training, to the company's key personnel and NIB Capital Private Equity N.V.
Krauthammer Consulting started its operation in 2002 and has offices in the Netherlands, UK and France. In 2010, Krauthammer Consulting was joined together with Krauthammer.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The view of Jerusalem is the history of the world; it is more, it is the history of earth and of heaven.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
