KRONEN GmbHProduceJune 6, 2023

After the last Customer Day in 2021 had to take place solely online due to the Covid-19 pandemic, KRONEN GmbH is inviting customers and interested parties to experience the event in person again this autumn at its headquarters in Kehl am Rhein, Germany. Participants from all over the globe are expected to attend the in-house exhibition with a program of accompanying events, which will be held on September 28 and 29. The event will showcase the company's innovative and established solutions for lettuce, fruit and vegetable processing. In addition to live machine demonstrations, it will also feature presentations by industry experts on topical issues.

The food technology company has already been hosting its in-house exhibition with a program of accompanying events every two years for around 15 years. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the last exhibition in 2021 was only held online as a virtual event. In 2023, the Customer Day is returning to its venue at the KRONEN headquarters. "After having to pause the in-person event, we are now delighted to welcome customers and interested visitors from all over the world back to our location in the Ortenau region of Germany, on the edge of the Black Forest," states Stephan Zillgith, Managing Partner and Spokesman of the KRONEN Board of Management. "To celebrate this, we have prepared a comprehensive program featuring a variety of highlights: We will hold live demonstrations of a multitude of machines, an expert forum will provide important background information, and the evening program on Thursday and Friday will offer plenty of scope for social interaction."

Experience has shown that the Customer Day attracts a great deal of interest within the industry. Participants from approximately 45 different countries are expected to attend the event in 2023. Invitations have been sent out to both existing and potential customers, namely fresh-cut processing companies; convenience and ready-made meal manufacturers; large-scale kitchens and catering facilities; the frozen, dried and tinned food industry; producers of vegan products; and processing farms.

At its in-house exhibition on September 29, KRONEN will team up with its partners Synergy Systems, iWEIGH, GKS Packaging, sterilAir and Citrosol to present its latest solutions and its wide variety of well-established machines in an area covering around 3,200 m2 in its exhibition area and production halls in Kehl am Rhein. Some of the solutions and machines that will be presented in live demonstrations in full product-processing operation include:

The KRONEN Forum, which features expert presentations on topical issues, will also take place again at this year's event. All presentations will be held in English and simultaneously interpreted into German.

Visitors can additionally gain an insight into the workings of the company on guided tours of the production facilities of KRONEN GmbH. Furthermore, the event aims to give participants an opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere supported by its evening program of accompanying events. To kick off the Customer Day the evening before the main event, on September 28, the Evening with KRONEN will be held in the Orangery at the Calamus Areal in Kehl. After being welcomed with a glass of sparkling wine, visitors can look forward to culinary highlights and live music, as well as the presentation of the KRONEN Award. To bring the Customer Day to a fitting close on Friday evening, September 29, participants are invited to join the KRONEN team at a celebratory event at the Oktoberfest held by the Europa-Park in Rust.

"The industry will experience our new products and innovations and also find out what KRONEN plans to focus on in the future," states Stephan Zillgith. "At the same time, our Board of Management and the KRONEN team want to use the event to thank our customers for their excellent cooperation with our company."
