Kosme Italy

Kosme Italy

Kosme s.r.l. was born in 1981 and immediately began the design and production of automatic LABELLING machines. It quickly established itself as a leading company and thanks to the success achieved in 1987, the company decided to expand its production range by entering the packaging machinery market by force, creating the current PACKAGING division. Palletisers, depalletisers, carton formers, case packers, carton closers are the main production elements of the division made both for medium-low production and for companies that require considerable workloads.

Over the years it has continuously expanded its production sectors, also entering as a protagonist in the filling sector with the FILLING division. From gravity fillers to net weight fillers, from rinsers to blow moulders, the filling division is enjoying the same success as the other company divisions.

In 2001, thanks to the partnership with Krones, a world leading company, Kosme strengthens and expands its production through the exchange of synergies and know-how with Krones, maintaining the essential characteristics that have made the company famous over the years: Customized solutions, high performance, high reliability and ease of use.

Kosme Austria

Kosme Austria

Founded in 1989 in Sollenau, 40 kilometers south of Vienna, Kosme Austria initially operated under the name Kosme Etikettiertechnik GmbH. The company's primary focus was the sale of labeling machines and bottling lines, with a strong emphasis on the Eastern European market.

In 1994, the company embarked on the development of its first linear PET stretch blow molding machine under the brand name KSB. The first machine produced in-house was delivered the following year.

In 2000, Kosme Austria began manufacturing its own molds, thereby enriching and completing its product portfolio. This allowed customers to obtain everything from machines and bottle designs to mold manufacturing from a single source.

In 2015, Kosme Austria constructed a new assembly hall with an attached office complex to expand its capacities and create a modern, future-oriented workplace.

The research and development department at Kosme Austria continuously works on advancing both stretch blow molding machines and can seamers. This commitment to innovation provides our customers with market advantages and ensures that individual requirements are met in the best possible way.

Krones plans to reorganize its Compact Class business unit

In light of the ongoing transformation in the beverage and liquid food industry, as well as increasing demands for sustainable, competitive, and efficient products, Krones is realigning its profitable growth strategy in the Compact Class business unit. This unit brings together Krones’ solutions for filling and packaging in the low to medium output range for beverages, wine and spirits, food, dairy products, as well as applications in the home and personal care sector and pharmaceuticals.

The Compact Class consists of four different subsidiaries: KOSME Italy, KOSME Austria, the sales and service company KOSME FBA (responsible for the markets in France and Belgium), which have been fully integrated into the Krones Group since 2009, and the labelling machine specialist Gernep, which was acquired in 2015. These entities will now be brought together under one roof – the new KOSME organisation.

The starting point for this integration was the joint development of a new labeling machine generation called Flectra  over the course of the last 12 months, which uniquely combines the expertise of both Kosme and Gernep: compact, flexible, and intuitive. The machine will be showcased and offered for sale for the first time live at this year’s drinktec in Munich (starting September 15, 2025).

The newly formed organization will be even more flexible in responding to customer needs, positioning itself as a strong unit in the face of competition, and strategically tapping into new markets and industries – both nationally and internationally. As part of this realignment, a completely new brand identity will also be developed in 2026.
