Tradition meets innovation
We are KRONE.
Exemplary product quality at a fair price, extraordinary innovative prowess, a service provider mentality and proximity to our customers – these points show the success story of the Krone family-run company.
Meanwhile, the fourth generation has taken over running the company but the KRONE values are still firmly in place: The customer, the employees, the company.
Our vision
Securing robust visions and ideas.
Quality and innovation have been at the focus of the KRONE corporate philosophy for 110 years. This approach continues to be systematically applied to this day. We always focus on robust, practical and efficient features for our product lines. In addition, we also offer a comprehensive range of services so that you and your trailer are always on the safe side.
Philosophy& sustainability
In the areas of development, manufacture and sales of commercial vehicles, we have a certified environmental management system. We consistently ensure that emissions, noise and odours are reduced and minimise the amount of waste produced and water used.
Within our company buildings, we keep our energy and water consumption to a minimum and also use energy and heat recovery systems. All environmental values are tracked by us in detail, to provide us with comparison values and to help identify weak points.
- We identify our CO2 emissions across all locations and on a product-specific basis according to the GHG-Protocol. We draw on the results to develop our climate strategy.
- Our sustainability efforts include renewable energy generation and our group-wide ISO 50001 certification.
- We monitor our waste and wastewater consumption and utilise this information to develop strategies for ensuring the efficient use of resources.
- We promote biodiversity through by planting flowering meadows.
- We protect our colleagues through our health and safety guidelines that apply across all locations.
- We train managers and offer training and further education through strategic human resources development programmes.
