Krones – the one-stop shop for liquid consumer products

Valuable raw materials like water, plant proteins and oats; raw milk; or hops, malt and yeast go into the making of high-quality beverages and liquid foods. Before they are ready to leave the factory, they must pass through a number of individual steps. And the Krones Group offers the right solution for each one, from the making of the product itself to state-of-the-art filling and packaging systems right through to plastics recycling, intralogistics and digital technologies. Each day, millions of beverage bottles and cans are processed on Krones equipment. Krones solutions are also used in the food and semi-luxury food industries as well as the chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

Headquartered in Neutraubling, Germany, Krones employs some 20,000 people around the world and generated 5.293 billion euros of consolidated revenue in 2023. Around 90 percent of that was from outside Germany. The 2,750-strong international service team delivers fast, targeted support to customers – no matter where or when it is needed. The Krones Group includes the listed parent company, Krones AG, plus far more than 100 subsidiaries and offices worldwide.

Since its founding in 1951, the family-owned and operated company has evolved into a global technology group that now offers customised solutions for every production step: whether that means stand-alone machines or turnkey lines or even the planning and execution of entire factories. Krones also delivers consulting and digital services to help optimise customers’ production, taking into account the entire value chain – from product development to project execution to support for customers’ ongoing operations.

An important factor throughout Krones’ success story is the company’s continuous investment in research and development. More than 7,030 registered patents and utility models attest the company’s exceptional capacity for innovation. “Solutions beyond tomorrow“ is the corporate vision under which Krones seeks to contribute to customers’ commercial success and support them on their path to a sustainable future. Because, at Krones, success in business and corporate responsibility go hand-in-hand.
