On October 11, Krones Processing India officially inaugurated its new Unit II facility in Siddipet, around 100 km north of Secunderabad.
The new greenfield facility is a direct response to the strong growth the company has experienced in recent years. As orders increased, technologies expanded and new customers were added, manufacturing requirements outgrew the capacity of the existing site.
“Since the acquisition of Unicorn in 2019 and its transformation into Krones Processing India, the company has continuously expanded its capabilities. What began with tanks and syrup rooms has evolved into highly automated skids and aseptic applications. With the new facility, the portfolio will now be extended to brewing equipment and components.”
In addition to its core beverage business, Krones Processing India says it is strengthening its commitment to the dairy, food, pharmaceutical and alcoholic beverage industries.
Earlier Krones, a German company that builds machines and complete production lines for filling, packaging, and processing drinks and food, officially opened its new plant in Vemagal, near Bangalore, on 19 August.
“India is one of the world’s most dynamic growth markets. With the opening of this facility, we are reaffirming Krones’ long-term commitment to the country and creating a platform for future growth, innovation and value creation. We see India as a strategic market and an important part of Krones’ global growth journey,” Ralf Goldbrunner, member of the executive board of Krones AG, had said.
Krones already operates several locations in India, including Krones India and Krones Digital Solutions India in Bangalore, Krones Processing India in Hyderabad and System Logistics India in Mumbai. The new facility in Vemagal further expands this footprint and underscores the company’s long-term commitment to the Indian market.
