KHS is a global manufacturer of filling and packaging systems. With around 5,000 employees and KHS sites in over 40 countries we play a leading role in the industry. We always focus on quality, customer orientation, sustainability and reliability – and have done for over 150 years.
In order to ensure our success in the future, too, we need first-class employees – and we also have plenty to offer them.
As an industry leader 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.
KHS machines are famous for their long service lives. This of course lies in the quality of our plant engineering but also in our good maintenance service and the future viability built into our lines and machines right from the start. All of this means that across the world not only are there many relatively new KHS machines in operation but also systems which have been up and running for several decades. And this, too, makes us proud.
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.
As an industrial company we have a great responsibility towards our environment. We therefore attach particular 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.
Numerous certifications and awards also illustrate that our drive for greater sustainability is an established practice at KHS. Would you like to learn more about our contribution to sustainability? You can read our sustainability report here.
Almost everyone has held a product filled and packaged with the help of KHS machines in their hand at one time or another. For not only are we represented worldwide; we also have a broad customer portfolio that includes international brands such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Heineken and AB InBev. In addition, we work with many traditional German brands, among them Krombacher, Granini and Bitburger.
KHS works in an industry that has a very bright future. Innovative filling and packaging systems are a steadily growing market when it comes to supplying an increasing world population. We also specifically invest in future-oriented issues such as sustainability and digitalization.
We believe it is important that our employees find a good balance between their working and private lives. This is why, depending on the field of work, we offer flextime models that are individually tailored to specific requirements.
Our employees receive an attractive salary – whether they are on the regular pay scale or not. Salaries consist of a fixed sum and a fair, performance-oriented allowance. At KHS the respective collective wage agreements of the metal and electrical industry apply.
New employees at KHS go through a structured period of initiation such as our Fit4KHS onboarding program. Individual vocational adjustment plans are also drawn up.
As a global company KHS provides many opportunities for employees to prove themselves in various fields and at a multitude of locations worldwide. We not only have production sites in Germany but also in the USA, China, India, Mexico and Brazil. In addition, our KHS offices in over 40 countries around the globe are open to employees in our sales or service departments.
We provide various extra benefits to make work for our employees as pleasant as possible. These include, for instance:
Christmas bonus and vacation pay for regular tariff employees, staggered according to their years of service for the company
Canteens at all production sites (providing balanced, healthy meals)
Employee discounts (for example at local cycle stores).
We at KHS take our social responsibility as an employer seriously. We therefore take part in the cycle to work campaign, for instance, or organize donations at Christmas time.
Our employees can make their own contribution to their later financial situation through our company pension program. Here, a percentage of the employee's salary is invested in payments for their retirement – which we then add to.
At KHS we believe in lifelong learning. We thus find it important to support each and every employee as best we can – with holistic basic and further training concepts ranging from elementary courses to specialist lectures. Our in-house KHS campus academy is a platform that provides a whole range of study options. In addition, we specifically train employees with managerial responsibilities in our Fit4Leadership program.
During their period of training our trainees become familiar with our various production plants and departments both within and outside Germany, thus gaining a detailed insight into the world of KHS. They also assume responsibility right from the start. The focus is always on the individual’s personal further development in his or her respective specialist field. This enables trainees to apply their theoretical knowledge in practice from the very beginning.
