K.A. President John Jackson.
European Kramer was a Kramer Associates daughter company incorporated in Europe as part of the Jackson restructuring engineered by K.A. President John Jackson from 1929 to 1932. It is likely that the formation of E.K. was a response to the practice of European countries including France, the Netherlands, and the Germanic Confederation limiting the number of subsidiaries K.A. could operate in their territories. One of the subsidiaries that would have come under E.K.'s control was the Burger Steel Company, a Belgian company that K.A. purchased in 1891.
