Krones held a Capital Market Day for analysts and institutional investors today in Neutraubling. Key topics comprised
the company's strategy and growth prospects together with the presentation of the medium-term targets for 2028.
Krones' markets benefit from megatrends such as world population growth and the expanding middle class. The Executive
Board explained how the company is responding to customer needs and seizing the opportunities presented by the stable
growth of the food and beverage market. A key growth driver for Krones here consists of sustainability and related
environmental and climate concerns. Demand from Krones customers is sharply increasing for machines and systems that
save resources and reduce carbon emissions. The company occupies a leading position here, providing future-ready
products with which Krones delivers on its vision of supplying customers with "Solutions beyond tomorrow". Krones'
Executive Board illustrated this with specific examples of innovative products. The Executive Board also provided
analysts and investors attending the Capital Market Day with a comprehensive briefing on the company's activities with
regard to digitalisation and the expansion of Krones' global footprint.
