GERNEP GmbH Etikettiertechnik is now KOSME Germany GmbH

Information regarding the renaming of GERNEP GmbH Etikettiertechnik as of 1 March

As of March 1, 2026, GERNEP GmbH Etikettiertechnik has been renamed KOSME Germany GmbH. The name change is a further step in the reorganisation and development of the Krones Compact Class business unit, which was initiated in autumn 2025 and of which GERNEP GmbH has been a part since 2019. The Compact Class line of business is made up of four different subsidiaries: KOSME Italy, KOSME Austria, KOSME FBA and GERNEP. The change of name to KOSME Germany GmbH is therefore the next logical step towards creating a uniform image for this branch of the business. The launch of the reorganized Compact Class was marked by the joint development of a new generation of labelling machines (Flectra), which uniquely combines the expertise of both KOSME Germany (formerly known as GERNEP GmbH) and KOSME Italy. The new labelling machine Flectra can be experienced live on our interpack booth in hall 16-F03!

Please note that only our company name has changed as of 1 March 2026. All known structures, contact persons and their contact details will remain unchanged. The GERNEP brand will remain the property of KOSME Germany GmbH.
