Krones rebrands its processing technology unit

Process technology is a key component in the value chain for any company making drinks, food or other liquid product — and it’s been part of the Krones Group’s expertise for many decades.

Until now, its 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 its process technology business under a single brand called Krones Processing. The goal is to increase transparency and make it easier for users to access its process technology portfolio.

There will now be a central point 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, including beverage and liquid food manufacturers.

The portfolio ranges from processes for raw materials intake and storage through to thermal and finishing treatments for all manner of products. It will also provide units and components such as valves, pumps, heat exchangers and homogenisers as well as the planning and implementation of fully integrated processing lines, complete with the necessary automation solutions.

The existing organisation — the companies and their expertise — will remain unchanged. What is new is the unified brand which 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 international structure.
