Krones AG
The Krones Group plans, develops and manufactures machines and complete lines for the fields of process, filling and packaging technology.
Synonymous with holistic systems engineering: Krones
For machines, lines and complete factories – Krones, the one-stop shop
The Krones Group, headquartered in Neutraubling, Germany, plans, develops and manufactures machines and complete lines for the fields of process, filling and packaging technology. Its product portfolio is rounded off by information technology, factory planning and products from Krones’ subsidiaries as intralogistics, valve production etc.
Every day, millions of bottles, cans, and special-shaped containers are handled on lines from Krones, particularly in breweries, the soft-drinks sector and at producers of still or sparkling wines and spirits, but also in the food and luxury-goods industries, plus the chemical, cosmetics and pharmaceutical sectors.
Since being founded in 1951, Krones has become far more than a traditional-style machinery and line manufacturer: it has evolved into an all-round vendor for its clients. Mechanical engineering, line expertise, process engineering, microbiology and information technology have here been harmoniously integrated for optimum synergies. Nowadays, Krones is synonymous with holistic systems engineering.
Krones’ success is based on some few but crucial strategies: specialised knowledge of mechanical engineering and the customer sectors involved, a technical lead over its competitors driven by continuingly high expenditure on research and development, production facilities featuring state-of-the-art equipment operating to the most stringent of quality standards, backed up by worldwide 24/7 service support, and most especially by the skills of its highly motivated staff. More than 4,450 full and utility patents bear witness to the company’s innovative potential.
Worldwide, Krones employs 13,346 people. Approximately 88 per cent of its products are sold abroad. Consolidated sales in 2015 totalled 3.174 billion euros. The group includes not only Krones AG (M-DAX), but also more than 80 sales and service companies.
