KRONEN GmbH is looking forward its the jubilee next month and expresses its gratitude to customers and partners for the great, cooperative partnerships that have made KRONEN a success for 40 years. On the occasion of the anniversary, the company focuses on the people behind KRONEN. After all, they are responsible for the KRONEN success story, according to a statement.
KRONEN was founded in 1978 as a trading company for hotel and catering equipment in Willstätt near Kehl. In 1992, it began to develop and produce their own machines for the fruit, vegetable and salad industry. This quickly brought about a breakthrough on the international markets. In 1998, the KRONEN industrial division was taken over by Rudolf Hans Zillgith, managing the strategy of further export orientation, which led to considerable growth in turnover and in the number of employees.
In 1999, Stephan Zillgith, Dipl. Ing (FH), joined the company as the technical director of the next generation. In 2004, as managing partner, he took responsibility for the management of the company. Since 2004, KRONEN has been developing and producing machines and plants in a 3000 m² newly built production and administrative facility in Kehl-Goldscheuer with its own exhibition and training rooms.
