Krones holds employees to high standards

Demographic change in the industrialised countries of the West presents one of Krones’ greatest challenges with respect to human resources policy. For this reason, one of our most important tasks is to ensure a lasting supply of qualified young recruits and to further improve our existing employees’ qualifications – even our older employees’. With more than 10,000 job applications received in 2011 alone, Krones remains a popular, reputable employer. Our goal is to further build and enhance Krones’ international employer branding in the years ahead. A look at our employees’ qualifications shows that our people are optimally prepared to handle the challenging tasks their work involves. Almost all of our employees in Germany possess recognised professional or vocational qualifications. The portion of university graduates in our workforce is now 17.1%. Commercial specialists, technicians, and master craftsmen make up 23.4% of our workforce.
