In 2018 a big fire caused terrible damage to Serbian milk producer Imlek’s production site. One of the many items destroyed was a KHS aseptic filler, just six years old. When it came to procuring a replacement, the company again opted for the Dortmund systems supplier – and for a block system featuring the latest in stretch blow molding technology.

Dortmund’s brewing tradition goes back over 750 years. Once one of the biggest beer capitals in Europe, the art of brewing has gradually waned in significance in the last few decades. Bergmann Brauerei has upheld the trade in the Ruhr metropolis since 2007, however – also with the help of KHS, another traditional company from this part of Germany.

Molson Coors is one of the biggest brewery groups in the world. The Serbian plant run by its subsidiary Apatinska Pivara Apatin has relied on technology engineered by KHS for over four decades. The long and trusting partnership between the two companies was recently further cemented by conversions to two of the brewery’s glass lines and the procurement of a KHS Innofill Can DVD can filler.

Beverage bottles made of glass have again become increasingly popular in the last few years. Lots of consumers and beverage brands are now consciously opting for this type of packaging. A good number of bottlers are thus adding glass containers to their portfolio or expanding their production capacities.

Cutting-edge filling equipment, environmentally-friendly packaging and ambitious sustainability targets: Carlsberg is one of the beverage industry’s technological pioneers. The KHS Group consistently supports the brewery in the concrete implementation of its strategies.

After KHS first presented the Innofill Glass DRS ECO to the public in 2019, the machine now in operation at OeTTINGER has demonstrated that it considerably improves on the low consumption values originally given for this equipment. With it, the brewery in Mönchengladbach, Germany, saves on CO2, water, energy and space. At the same time, OeTTINGER benefits from improved quality in the filling process.

The new KHS sustainability report has been published under the title of Global responsibility – acting reliably and with foresight. In it the systems supplier presents its activities and results for 2019 and 2020 regarding strategy and product responsibility, corporate environmental protection and social issues.

A&M Rare’s new, ultramodern bottling plant seems almost surreal in its Armenian mountain setting. This is a place where unspoiled scenery and naturalness are writ large – with regard to both the company’s exclusive products and the production of the same. The company relies on KHS for the plant technology for its new PET and glass line.

For years KHS has been a reliable partner for can filling and packaging to the biggest beverage factory in Europe, situated in Wakefield in Great Britain. At the start of the corona crisis the Coca-Cola bottler again benefitted from the quality of the companies’ cooperation and KHS technology.

The example of beer brand Senator Keg shows how you can effectively leverage market potential while exercising social responsibility. In Kenya this has proved successful with a clever strategy – and with the help of technology and service from KHS.
