Before a drink, food or other liquid product can be filled and packaged, it has to be made first and then appropriately processed and treated to suit its specific requirements. And this is precisely where process technology comes in. It is a key component in the value chain of any company making the above products – and it’s been part of the Krones Group’s core expertise for many decades.
Until now, this entire broad range of solutions and technologies has been housed across various companies and brands within the Krones Group, each specialising in specific industries, technologies or regions. Now, the group is streamlining the market presence of its process technology business under a single, eponymous performance brand, Krones Processing. The goal is to increase transparency and make it easier for customers to access the Group’s comprehensive process technology portfolio. The existing organisation – the companies and their expertise – will remain unchanged. What is new is the unified brand identity, which highlights the Group’s many and varied competences and technologies across beverage production.
Technological expertise along the entire value chain
Krones Processing consolidates the Group’s comprehensive expertise along the entire value chain. It gives customers a central point from which to access solutions for producing, processing and treating all kinds of products ranging from liquid to highly viscous – across a variety of industries and technologies. Krones Processing supports beverage and liquid food manufacturers as well as companies in the home and personal care and bioprocessing industries.
The portfolio ranges from processes for raw materials intake and storage right through to thermal and finishing treatments for all manner of products. Adding to that, Krones Processing offers units and components such as valves, pumps, heat exchangers and homogenizers as well as the planning and implementation of fully integrated processing lines, complete with the necessary automation solutions.
Global presence with regional expertise
This sheer breadth of technology is borne by a global network that includes the Process Technology business unit of Krones AG, with teams in Germany, China, the Middle East and North and South America, as well as subsidiaries in Europe (Evoguard, GHS, HST, Krones Processing Netherlands, Milkron, Perfinox and Steinecker), North America (Ampco Pumps, Javlyn and Krones Process Group North America) and Asia (Krones Izumi, Krones Processing India, Krones Processing Shanghai) – all part of Krones Processing and supported by the Krones Group’s strong international structure.
