Pema expands its fleet with commercial vehicles from Krone
Werlte/ Munich, 19.07.2017 - The Krone Commercial Vehicle Group and PEMA GmbH agreed on the delivery of various vehicle units at the transport logistic trade fair in Munich. PEMA and Krone have been working together for decades, and a total of 17,000 units have since been manufactured for the rental fleet at the Werlte, Herzlake and Lübtheen sites. The vehicles prove their worth every day in international freight transport. Dr. Bernard Krone and Ingo Geerdes, Head of Key Account Management, Krone Fleet & Krone Used, together with Peter Ström, CEO of PEMA GmbH, are delighted with the deal: "Mutual trust is not only reflected in the number of units sold, but also in stable and long-standing relationships. In the logistics and rental business, it is important to have reliable partners on your side."
PEMAPEMA GmbH is the specialist for truck and trailer rental in Europe. Based in Herzberg in the Harz region, the company has a fleet of 18,000 vehicles for rental. PEMA is active at twenty-five different locations in nine European countries.
KRONE Commercial Vehicle GroupThe family-owned company Krone is one of the market leaders in commercial vehicles and agricultural technology. The product portfolio in the commercial vehicle division includes flatbed and box semi-trailers, container chassis, swap systems, trailers and truck bodies as well as CEP vehicles for parcel services. Customer requirements go far beyond the vehicle itself. Krone offers a comprehensive service package that includes telematics, spare parts, financing, rental vehicles and the marketing of used vehicles. In-house components such as the Krone Trailer Axle and the All-In-Krone Trailer ensure that the customer can rely on a single point of contact for all questions.
In five decades, the Krone Group's annual sales volume has risen from around 8.5 million euros to just under 1.8 billion euros today. The Krone Group's main sales driver is commercial vehicles (Fahrzeugwerk Krone and subsidiaries) with a turnover of around 1.2 billion euros. Krone manufactured around 48,000 vehicle units (around 37,000 semi-trailers plus almost 11,000 swap systems) in the past financial year; Germany remained the strongest sales market with 30 percent, followed by Western Europe (41%) and Eastern Europe (27%).
The Krone Group employs around 4,300 people worldwide. The reason for the sharp increase in the number of employees is the expansion of the Krone Commercial Vehicle Group; currently around 2,500 employees work in the production of commercial vehicles at the sites in Werlte, Herzlake (both in Emsland/Lower Saxony), Dinklage (near Osnabrück), Lübtheen (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania) and Tire (Turkey).
