Krones AG: Expansion plans in Klardorf - What's really behind them?

Krones AG's expansion plans recently caused lively discussions in the Klardorf district of Schwandorf. But now the company is making it clear: There is currently no expansion in the pipeline. According to a report by Central Bavarian According to the newspaper, the planning committee has already changed the land use plan and drawn up a development plan. Nevertheless, Krones currently sees no need for expansion.

The company has rented 20,000 square meters in the former Plewa site to store products there. Although rental space is available for possible expansion, Krones is currently not making use of it. Particular attention is paid to the claim in a meeting document that Krones is planning a duty-free warehouse and an expansion of the area to 90,000 square meters. The company clearly objected to this and emphasized that the area should only be used for storage purposes.

Current usage options

The owner of the Klardorf property already has plans to make the 20,000 square meters available to a service company from December 2024. It is also exciting that the service provider asked for solutions for Halle, but had to decline because there was a lack of available space. This means that the need for commercial space remains high.

Krones is much more than just the location in Klardorf. With around 10,000 employees in several German plants, including Neutraubling, Nittenau, Rosenheim and Flensburg, the company ensures that the quality of its products meets the highest standards. These specialists play an important role in Krones’ international success. Information about this is provided by the official website from Krones.

International presence

But Krones is not only active in Germany. A look at the global presence shows that the company now has over 100 locations worldwide that deal with lifecycle services. This internationality enables Krones to expand its production quickly and efficiently. Domestic assembly and development centers concentrate on filling, labeling, plastics and process technology, while international locations produce certain machines and systems, especially in the packaging and palletizing technology, such as GlobalData reported.

Overall, it remains to be seen how the situation in Klardorf will develop. Although Krones currently has no plans to expand, future developments in the region could open up new opportunities. Until then, the former Plewa site will initially remain in operation as a storage area.
