KRONEN was founded in 1978 as a merchandising company for hotel- and restaurant equipment and accessories. The development and production of own machines for the fruit, vegetable and salad industry was started in 1992. By this, the products could quickly be established on the international market.
1998 KRONEN was taken over by the current Managing Director with the strategy of the further export orientation, which led to a considerable growth in sales and number of employees.
In 1999, with Stephan Zillgith as Technical Manager, Dipl. Ing. degree (FH), the next generation entered the company. In 2004 he took co-responsibility as Managing Director joining the management of the company.
Since 2004, KRONEN has been developing and producing its machines in a new production- and administration building with own show room and training facilities in Kehl-Goldscheuer close to the French border.
As an innovative and internationally operating enterprise KRONEN made further progress in establishing itself even more successfully on the international market, making it necessary to double the production area to 5000 m2 in total. In September 2008, KRONEN celebrated the official opening of the new production hall and its 30th anniversary with a special live-concert and event for business partners and customers.
In 2011, KRONEN Corp. was founded in Cohes/New York operating as distribution company for the US American market. There are currently two employees who are responsible for sales and service for KRONEN within the USA.
Today, KRONEN has 90 employees and is a globally operating supplier of machines and systems for the catering, delicatessen and food industry with representations in over 85 countries.
