KHS Group boosts turnover in 2016
The KHS Group has ratified its successful development of the previous year and again boosted its turnover, with sales totaling €1.18 billion last year. Its operating profit (EBT) rose thanks to contributions from internal improvement programs to this end. Especially successful projects in Asia and Central America and a heavy demand for PET and can filling systems helped to promote sales. In the current business year the Group wishes to score further with innovations at the leading international drinktec trade show.
The ongoing development of resource-saving technologies and packaging systems will play a significant role here. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Niemeyer, chairman of the Executive Management Board, places the focus on the Group’s role as an innovative driver of the industry. “Besides the very pleasing business generated by our existing systems and in service we now find ourselves on a broader footing compared to a few years ago thanks to the successful market launches of our innovations.” KHS’ service organisation has been built up worldwide, for example, and consumables are now again directly included in the company portfolio.
There is a growing demand across the entire range of filling and packaging machinery offered by the systems supplier: from PET through cans to glass and kegs, in practically all sectors from beer through soft drinks to water or sensitive beverages for hot filling.
