“The ErgoBloc technology requires little space and few operators and yet offers large production capacity,” says General Manager Abdalla Turki. “Krones has an excellent reputation on the Libyan market. You get a fully integrated project, saving time and money and ensuring a good outcome. The line’s performance has been very good so far.
