The two companies jointly develop flexible automation solutions for mechanical engineering.
Koenig & Bauer and Siemens have agreed on a strategic co-operation to further develop the modular automation system from Koenig & Bauer. The aim of the co-operation is to create future-proof machine concepts that meet the increasing demands of modern production environments.
By combining the technological expertise of both companies, the aim is to create innovative solutions that set new standards in mechanical engineering and, in particular, increase the flexibility and efficiency of production processes.
„This partnership is an important step towards sustainably strengthening our innovative strength and market position. By bundling our competences with the technological expertise of Siemens, we are creating synergies that enable pioneering developments in mechanical engineering.“
Dr Andreas Pleßke, CEO of Koenig & Bauer
The first results of the partnership are to be presented in the near future.
In focus: modularity and digital transformation
The modular approach enables machine manufacturers to adapt production lines to different requirements more quickly, flexibly and cost-effectively. At the same time, the integration of digital technologies from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio supports the implementation of sustainable production concepts.
For Koenig & Bauer, the partnership will strengthen its position in the field of intelligent packaging and printing solutions, while Siemens aims to further expand its role as a driver of digital transformation in mechanical engineering, according to the statement.
