Over 150 participants from more than 30 countries around the world came together at the International Kronen Representative Conference on 26 and 27 September followed by an open house for customers the next day. 
Stephan Zillgith, Managing Director and his team presented both new and existing machines to sales representatives and customers from the international salad, vegetable & fruit processing industry.
Zillgith stated that "This year’s representative conference and customer’s day was an overwhelming success with more customers and sales representatives attending than ever before. Comments from our customers and sales representatives indicated that they were extremely impressed with our techniques, innovation, capability and diversity."
The company says that the positive feedback of participants confirmed that Kronen is on the right track with its annual Customer Days.
