About Kraft
Kraft GmbH, based in Vienna, has specialised since 1969 in filling, labelling and packaging technology for wineries, breweries, beverage and food businesses. The family-owned company designs complete filling lines from product infeed to the finished pallet, delivers and installs the systems and supports them on site. The range includes filling monoblocks and counter-pressure fillers from GAI, self-adhesive labelling machines from ENOS, filtration from Strassburger and Alteco as well as packaging technology from SIAT, SMIPACK and Mas Pack. In addition, the company builds mobile filling systems on trailers or in containers for joint filling operations and contract bottlers – more than 22 systems have been built to date. The offering also includes a service centre with spare parts warehouse, three technicians with fully equipped service vehicles, a used machinery trade and an online shop (kraft24.at). Customers are businesses throughout Austria, from family wineries to large breweries. The premises are located at Arndtstraße 15 in Vienna-Favoriten (1120), where office, spare parts warehouse and workshop come together.
