About KRONES Aktiengesellschaft
KRONES Aktiengesellschaft is a German industrial leader in machinery and systems for the beverage and liquid-food industry. The company is listed on Xetra/Frankfurt (DAX/MDAX/SDAX) and is headquartered in Germany, in Neutraubling near Regensburg. Founded in 1951 by Hermann Kronseder, Krones started as a small workshop focused on labelling machines and has developed into a global technology group. Today, it is widely positioned as a one-stop shop for producers of liquid consumer goods, with offerings spanning from individual machines to turnkey lines and complete factory planning and construction.([krones.com](https://www.krones.com/en/company/about-us.php?utm_source=openai))
Krones’ core business covers several industrial process stages: process technology, filling systems, labelling, packaging, palletising, end-of-line automation, intralogistics, digital solutions, factory engineering, and plastics recycling. The group serves not only beverage producers, but also selected customers in food, chemical, cosmetics and pharmaceutical applications. Its integrated model is important competitively because it allows Krones to bundle hardware, engineering, software, implementation and after-sales service into a single solution, which can improve efficiency, footprint, sustainability and operating reliability for customers.([krones.com](https://www.krones.com/en/company/about-us.php?utm_source=openai))

Geographically, Krones is highly international. The company states that around 90% of its products are sold outside Germany, and it employs more than 21,000 people worldwide. This global footprint gives it exposure to beverage and industrial capex cycles across Europe, the Americas, Asia and other export markets, while maintaining a strong manufacturing and innovation base in Germany. That balance between local engineering depth and global customer reach is a key part of its investment case.([krones.com](https://www.krones.com/en/company/about-us.php?utm_source=openai))
From a market-positioning perspective, Krones is one of the best-known names in beverage line technology, with a strong reputation for automation, line efficiency and execution on large-scale projects. It competes in a market where customers increasingly demand energy efficiency, lower water consumption, higher throughput and more sustainable packaging and recycling solutions. Krones’ broad portfolio and system integration capabilities help it compete not just on equipment quality, but on total lifecycle value.([krones.com](https://www.krones.com/en/company/about-us.php?utm_source=openai))
Recent developments reinforce the group’s constructive operating momentum. In March 2026, Krones published its 2025 annual report and confirmed preliminary figures: revenue rose 7.0% to EUR 5,663.8 million, EBITDA increased 12.2% to EUR 602.3 million, the EBITDA margin improved to 10.6%, and orders on hand stood at EUR 4,190.4 million at year-end 2025. Management also indicated a 2026 outlook for 3% to 5% revenue growth adjusted for currency effects, with further EBITDA margin improvement, and proposed a dividend of EUR 2.80 per share. For investors, Krones remains a high-quality German capital goods name with a solid technology moat and a relatively visible aftermarket/service component.([krones.com](https://www.krones.com/en/company/investor-relations/krones-group-annual-report-2025.php?utm_source=openai))
