PROFILE |
 |
When a bottling company wants to put a cork in it, it can call KRONES. The company not only makes machinery that puts corks in bottles, it also makes machines that clean, fill, seal, label, transport, and package bottles and cans. The company also manufactures high-speed stretch blow-molding machines that make plastic containers. While KRONES primarily serves the beverage industry (alcoholic and nonalcoholic), it also has customers in the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. KRONES provides production-line planning services and line-data storage software. It is looking to acquisitions and new technology to uncork sales growth. Founder Hermann Kronseder and the Kronseder family own 72% of the company.
