"The real significance of this facility lies not in its buildings, machinery or technology, but in the people, partnerships and shared commitment that made it possible.

August 2026 : Krones has inaugurated its new manufacturing facility in Vemagal, near Bangalore. The site expands the company’s footprint in India, enabling closer customer collaboration and bolstering its presence in one of the world’s primary growth hubs for the beverage, food, and packaging sectors.

Krones already operates a robust network across the country, comprising Krones India and Krones Digital Solutions India in Bangalore, Krones Processing India in Hyderabad, and System Logistics India in Mumbai. The addition of the Vemagal plant provides a key manufacturing base designed to drive long-term strategic expansion.

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."

Beyond high-tech machinery and infrastructure, leadership emphasized the human capital driving the milestone. Thomas Wolter, Managing Director of Krones Machinery India, noted: "The real significance of this facility lies not in its buildings, machinery or technology, but in the people, partnerships and shared commitment that made it possible. This achievement reflects the dedication of our teams and marks the beginning of the next chapter of the Krones story in India."

The global enterprise - which generated EUR 5.66 billion in sales in 2025 and employs more than 21,000 people across 100+ subsidiaries - views the facility as a foundational step toward supporting rapid demand across Asia’s evolving liquid-food and packaging landscape.
