The Krones Beverage industry Group, based in Germany, opened a Branch in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia with Quality, state of the art designer and technological advanced machineries.

Founded in 1951, the self-described “holistic systems engineering” company has offices in South Africa, Angola and Nigeria.
The South African subsidiary also has training facilities where most of the local staff members are set to receive their training and have them meet the universal standard of the company.
In addition to the building of state-of-the-art equipment, the company is to offer its local clients/customers with specialized technical knowledge and world-wide support at all hours from its base in Neutraubling, Germany — the headquarter of the publicly traded company.
