This video offers a brief look at our international team.

As one of the leading companies in our branch of industry we set new standards for many technical systems and often break records in the process. For example, we have developed what is currently the lightest 0.5-liter PET screw-top bottle for carbonated beverages in the world, weighing in at just 9.9 grams, and have one of the world’s most powerful can fillers with a capacity of up to 132,000 cans per hour.

Our aim is to ensure that our customers can exploit all the benefits of digital advance. Here, the digitalization of system solutions plays a major role – from 3D line design through IT systems for the production process to intelligent (remote) maintenance concepts. Many sections of our own (production) processes are now also digitalized and we work with cutting-edge procedures – whether in the manufacture of parts, in assembly or in the virtual commissioning of machines.

Almost everyone has held a product filled and packaged with the help of KHS machines in their hand at one time or another as we work with many international brands, among them Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Heineken and AB InBev. We also count many traditional German brands among our customers, such as Krombacher, Granini and Bitburger.

Watch a sample video of our collaboration with Coca-Cola here.

As an industrial company we have a great responsibility towards our environment. We therefore attach especially great importance to the development of sustainable systems and solutions and to environmentally-friendly production. Many of our technologies are thus particularly kind to the climate – and gentle on the use of energy and raw materials. Moreover, our adhesive Nature MultiPack™ system even holds beverage containers together without the need for any plastic film whatsoever.

Numerous certifications and awards also illustrate that we take climate protection seriously.

KHS works in an industry that has a very bright future. Innovative filling and packaging systems are naturally very much in demand when it comes to supplying a growing world population. We also specifically invest in future-oriented issues such as sustainability and digitalization.

We support our employees with various courses and campaigns run as part of our company's health management program, including:

• KHS health action days
• Cooperation with fitness studios
• Exercise classes for backs or massages
• Company runs
• Company medical officers
• Canteens offering balanced meals
• Cooperation with health insurance companies and bonus programs.

So that work is even more fun, you must be able to adapt it to fit in with your private life – in part at least. This is why we offer flextime models depending on your area of work. Following an initial period in our training workshop, this also applies to our apprentices.

We want you to get off to a good start. To help ease your way into the world of work KHS offers its apprentices an extensive initiation program. You and all of the other new trainees and dual work-study students from all the KHS sites in Germany meet for a joint freshers’ week. Here, you can get to know your new colleagues and learn a lot about KHS and your areas of responsibility.

Each apprentice or work-study student is also assigned a direct contact who is responsible for him or her.

It’s great when you enjoy your job and the money’s good! Our employees therefore receive an attractive salary – whether they’re on the regular pay scale or not. At KHS the respective collective wage agreements of the metal and electrical industry apply.

OK, so you’re not thinking about your retirement just yet! Nevertheless, this will become important later in life. You can thus make your own contribution to your later financial situation through our company pension program. Here, a percentage of your salary is invested in payments for your retirement and additionally topped up.

During your apprenticeship or dual work-study program you spend time in many different departments and thus gain a detailed insight into the world of KHS. You also assume responsibility right from the start. The focus is always on your personal further development in your specialist field. This enables you to apply your theoretical knowledge in practice from the very beginning.
