The KHS Group is expanding its expertise in handling PET and glass bottles by acquiring a majority stake in Tyrolon-Schulnig GmbH. Tyrolon's expertise is already being utilised in KHS lines; from now on, solutions such as the transport starwheel and neck clamp system will be further developed together.
Whether for a new line or as a retrofit package for existing machines - the Austrian company Tyrolon offers efficient, flexible and safe Technology for bottle transport. This expertise is now available under the umbrella of the system supplier KHS.
„This investment brings together two companies that have already been very successful together.

Martin Resch, Managing Director of the KHS Group.
