In 2026, KRONEN and Urschel expand their partnership across Asia and Italy

Effective January 1, 2026, Urschel’s food-cutting solutions portfolio has expanded by offering KRONEN commercial food-processing solutions across Asia through Urschel Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. (UAP) and across Italy through Urschel International Ltd. Italy. Urschel customers benefit from exploring KRONEN-based food-processing solutions, including washers, dicers, slicers, dryers, and conveyors—backed by Urschel’s strong support network.

KRONEN represents machines and lines that enable hygienic, safe, sustainable, and efficient processing of fresh foods—helping find the right solution for every customer.

Alan Major, Sales Director at Urschel, stated:

“Urschel has always partnered with food processors to explore more options and support our customers. By supplying KRONEN systems, Urschel’s sales and support network further expands processing solutions that work alongside Urschel’s precision cutting machinery. Invention and innovation are part of who we are as a company. We are always moving forward to discover new cutting methods and new ways to help our customers. These goals remain at the forefront of what we do.”

Beginning in May 2025, customers in the U.S. and Mexico were able to purchase KRONEN equipment directly from Urschel. Shortly thereafter, Urschel’s direct offices in Pakistan and China joined the initiative to offer equipment directly through Urschel. And as of January 1, 2026, customers in Italy and additional parts of Asia have the same benefit. Urschel’s existing sales representatives continue to assist with product inquiries for both Urschel and KRONEN, ensuring uninterrupted support and service.
