**Vemgal, Bangalore, India – February 20, 2025**

 

Krones, a leading provider of technology and services for the beverage and liquid food industry, has officially started construction of a new production plant in Vemgal, Bangalore, India.

 

The ground-breaking ceremony was attended by key stakeholders, including Krones Executive Board Member Ralf Goldbrunner, the Head of the Region APAC, Markus Winter, and various officials from the Karnataka government. This event underscores Krones’ commitment to expanding its activities in India.

 

 

 

 

This new plant will complement Krones’ existing operations in India, which include Krones India, Krones Processing India and Krones Digital Solutions India as well as a site of Krones’ subsidiary System Logistics. Krones has been present in India since the mid-1990s. The new investment reflects the company’s strategy to offer localized production solutions and thus improve service for customers in the region.

 

The new production site will be developed in three phases and is expected to cover a total of 110,000 square meters in the final stage of construction. Of this, 70,000 square meters will be dedicated to production, while 40,000 square meters are earmarked for green areas.

 

The construction of the production complex is expected to be completed by early 2026, operations commencing in the same year.

 

Krones is committed to fostering a skilled workforce and is actively seeking talented individuals to join its team.
