Krones subsidiary Syskron purchases SAP consultancy firm

Syskron Holding GmbH, the subsidiary specialising in intralogistics of
Krones AG, Neutraubling, Germany, has purchased a 100-per-cent stake in the
Triacos GmbH company. By buying Triacos, Syskron Holding is acquiring
corporate expertise in consultancy and the implementation of SAP solutions,
focusing on production-related and intra-plant logistics, and is now in a
position to also offer SAP standard solutions for the beverage industry, in
addition to its own software packages. The ability to integrate SAP
software solutions is of crucial importance for the development of business
models in the context of the "Industry 4.0" concept.

In the 2014 business year, the family-owned Triacos GmbH company,
headquartered in Altenstadt an der Waldnaab (Upper Palatinate), achieved a
turnover of around 2.0 million euros. At Triacos, 22 SAP specialists
concentrate on implementing projects for mid-tier customers in Germany. The
purchase price is in the single-digit-million range, with the acquisition
coming into force on 2 February 2015.
