Koenig, headquartered in Graz, Austria, closed its fiscal year at the end of February 2023 with record sales of EUR 114 million. This is a new record for the company that focused on international exports since it was founded by Helmut König, in 1966.
With flatbreads growing more and more popular, dedicated production lines focus on delivering premium quality results. When developing its flatbread line, König focused on replicating artisan-like characteristics.
Koenig will introduce a new Rex machine at IBIE this year, the I Rex Compact EC (Easy Clean design). It incorporates the I-Rex Compact EC Divider and Rounder.
Trends the company is considering for the design of its tunnel ovens include stone conveyor ovens, bigger lines with bigger baking surfaces to match, saving energy (heat recovery systems), and the ability to quickly swap between energy sources, from gas to electricity, or hydrogen.
Koenig has recently developed a scoring unit powered by Artificial Intelligence, with the help of 3D scanners and cameras.
The König Group expands as it took over Vulganus Oy in July. The traditional company, based in Nastola, Finland, specializes in tailor-made spiral systems for the bakery and food industry.
The 2022 Eco Twin model was revised to provide increased performance, options for modular layout and optimization in several process areas.
Notable examples we looked into include Koenig’s new generation of roll lines – the KGV Plus, and the latest addition, KGV EC that was just launched at iba.CONNECTING EXPERTS mid-March.
At iba 2018, Koenig presented the Combiline plus in Easy Clean Design. Now the bakery machine manufacturer is extending the concept to the Combiline roll line.
Whether sliced bread rolls, crispy rolls, yeast pastries or rye bread – the König plant manufacturer supplies the appropriate technical equipment for the production of a wide variety of rolls and breads.
Because our status as a production operation means we make an essential contribution to maintaining supply chains, certain areas of our business remain unaffected by possible curfews and travel restrictions for the time being.
