Due to the very positive market demand for interchangeable systems and Dry Liners, Krone will significantly increase production capacity at its Herzlake site. As Managing Director Bernhard Brüggen explains, production output will be doubled to over 25,000 units in the next one and a half years. “We have already laid the foundation for this production offensive with the introduction of automatic component production in Herzlake. Our swap body systems and Dry Liners stand for high product quality combined with numerous innovative load securing solutions and are therefore in high demand on the market, as evidenced, for example, by our market share of around 70 % for swap bodies. In addition, there is a significant increase in demand, which is also generated by the booming online trade,” Brüggen continued.
In addition to the massive increase in production, this is also associated with an investment offensive. As part of the extensive automation implementation and the associated robot production systems, the entire product range is being revised. This is particularly important in order not only to further increase quality, but also to further increase customer benefits.
