The new issue of KRONE Eins was published in mid-December. The KRONE Group’s employee magazine, subtitled \u2018The magazine for you and your families\u2019, offers 40 pages of interesting reports, success stories and personal insights into the people who work for the companies in the KRONE Group. <\/p>

In the cover story, Han van Lierop and Kai Klitschke look back on how they met. They first encountered each other in April 2024, when KRONE employees from Germany came to Knapen in Deurne, the Netherlands, as a kind of \u2018auxiliary team\u2019 to help catch up on production backlogs. Their shared sense of achievement led to a genuine friendship. <\/p>

Bernhard Krone speaks plainly and provides an economic overview as well as an outlook for 2026. Young talents from various KRONE locations, who met during a tour in the historic customer service vehicle, a lovingly restored VW Bulli, also look to the future. In the report, they talk about their goals and expectations for the future. The employee magazine also reports on the most important trade fair appearances in the past year, above all Agritechnica 2025 in Hanover, the world’s largest trade fair for agricultural machinery technology. <\/p>

KRONE Eins is published twice a year with a circulation of 7,500 copies and is sent individually to employees of the group of companies. The magazine and all previous issues can also be read on mobile devices via the KRONE Eins kiosk app for iOS and Android \u2013 in German, English, Dutch, French and Turkish. The employee magazine is produced by the corporate publishing department of the DVV Media Group in close cooperation with the corporate communications team of the KRONE Group. The third issue has now been published since the mandate began in 2024. <\/p>
