Focus areas include improvements in glass filling and packaging line speed and efficiency; enhanced agility and flexibility of responding to market trends; development of innovative and sustainable glass systems; and advancements in digital solutions such as direct-to-glass digital printing technology.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn production facilities all over the world, the products of O-I and Krones are already encountering each other. So, it was absolutely logical to improve still further the compatibility of Krones\u2019 complete lines and the glass containers from O-I,\u201d adds Christoph Klenk, CEO of Krones AG. <\/p>\n
