Commuting to the office every day? That's not only bad for the climate, it also costs valuable lifetime. At Krones, we therefore rely on the contemporary model of mobile working. Depending on the task and the team, it offers plenty of leeway in the choice of the daily work location: Sometimes in the company office, sometimes at home: Almost anything is possible - even up to 25 working days in other EU countries.

By the way: We have specified the framework conditions for mobile working in a binding company agreement that applies to all German locations of Krones AG. Because fairness is one of the cornerstones of our corporate culture.
