Bottling and packaging line manufacturer Krones has acquired food, dairy and beverage process systems specialists Javlyn.
The acquisition of the US-based company represents another step in executing the Krones strategy to expand its process integration capabilities as Javlyn will be part of Krones’ machines and lines for beverage production and process technology.
Holger Beckmann, president and chief executive officer of Krones, said: “Javlyn’s experience and know-how in the field of process technology is very synergetic to Krones, and its customer base is a great fit for us. With this complementary acquisition, we further strengthen our regional value proposition for our North American customers.”
Ron Bielinis, a founding partner of Javlyn, added: “We knew from the minute Krones approached us that there is a special fit here. My business partner Victor Tifone and I, along with the rest of the Javlyn team, are looking forward to being part of the local customer focused strategy of such a well-respected global organisation.”
