The judges’ comments
Krones will receive two Gold Stevie Awards, in the categories “Company of the year – manufacturing and production” and “Most innovative technology company of the year – over 2,500 employees”.
Among the criteria earning Krones praise from the jury were the systematic, end-to-end digitalisation and the high level of automation offered for beverage-makers’ production operations. The jury also recognised the strong focus on customer needs and the holistic development of the company’s own internal structures, particularly the establishment of the group-wide Krones.digital community, as well as the product portfolio as a whole. The judges were likewise impressed by the family-owned and operated enterprise’s evolution and transformation into a pioneer in the machinery sector.
