Editorial DEAR READERS, Before you now lies what is already the seventh edition of XtraBlatt. As with all previous editions, you’ll find in this XtraBlatt a wide range of interesting themes that hopefully gives you much to think about over the festive season. For us, 2016 was a very special year: It marks our family having had the privilege of heading “Maschinenfabrik Bernard KRONE” over 110 years. During this time, our company has developed from an Emsland blacksmith to an international group pf firms employing 6,000 people worldwide and with a total turnover of two billion euros. All through the innumerable developments and changes during this period, a Krone family principle has remained unshakeable to this day: That one person has sole responsibility as decision maker who, following advice and discussion, decides on the direction that the company takes. Hereby, we naturally work in smaller and larger teams and develop solutions and technologies together – such a differentiated enterprise would be impossible to manage otherwise. In the final analysis, the Krone family name is emblazoned on every machine. And that represents a very special responsibility. sions about agriculture’s image. But especially because of this, we are all challenged to work together towards creating a positive impression. Hereby, it pays to think deeply about how best to motivate your employees and make them “family members”. Because it is these people in particular that contribute directly through their work to the success or failure of your, and our, enterprises. And at the same time, employees increasingly communicate to a large community what they find good or bad about your business via the social networks – a phenomenon that shouldn’t be underestimated. Perhaps from time to time you’ll seek dialogue with your staff members towards finding ways of further improving your business. We in Krone work constantly in this way towards becoming better: Better for you, our customers and partners. For the festive days that lie before us I would like to send best wishes from Spelle to you and your families. I wish you a peaceful and blessed Christmas festival and a healthy and successful year in 2017. With sincere greetings from Emsland, Exactly the same also applies to you, our respected readers. Many of you run a family enterprise. And you, too, stand with your name for your products or services. This is not always easy in the light of the very public discus- Your Bernard Krone 3
