Beverage packaging is about to undergo a visible change: In the future, the caps of non-returnable plastic bottles must be designed so that they remain connected to the bottle after opening. Krones has published a whitepaper for anyone who wishes to find out more about tethered caps and the EU directive.

Synonymous with holistic systems engineering: Krones
The Krones Group, headquartered in Neutraubling, Germany, plans, develops and manufactures machines and complete lines for the fields of process, filling and packaging technology. And Krones also offers a fit-for-purpose solution for bottle-to-bottle recycling of PET containers. The product portfolio subsumed in the House of Krones is rounded off by numerous products and services from Krones’ subsidiaries, themed around digitalisation, for example, digital container decoration, intralogistics and in-house valve production. 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. Krones is nowadays synonymous with holistic systems engineering. The company’s 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 trained and motivated staff. More than 5,700 full and utility patents bear eloquent witness to the company’s innovative potential.
Worldwide, Krones employs around 16,700 people. Consolidated sales in 2020 totalled 3.32 billion euros. Around 90 per cent of its products are sold abroad. The group includes not only Krones AG (listed on the stock exchange), but also more than 100 subsidiaries and further sales and service companies worldwide.
Krones and its subsidiaries and further sales and service companies cover the fields of
- Process technology solutions for milk, beer, malt beverages, CSD, juices, water and liquid food
- Bottling and packaging equipment, including labelling, inspection, filling, cleaning, packing and palletising technology as well as conveyor and plastics technology
