Akona unifies the technologies and global reach of AMP and AHS to deliver an extensive portfolio of processing and handling solutions for high value materials in the food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and chemicals industries.

 

The new company will continue to leverage AMP’s and AHS’s Cablevey, Kason, Marion, and Spiroflow brands, together bringing over 200 years of collective experience in solving the most demanding material handling and material processing challenges. Akona is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, with engineering, sales, and service centers of excellence across the USA and Europe.

Akona’s unique combination of cutting-edge technology and customer-centric products and services will ensure we remain a trusted partner in their success.”

 

The new company’s portfolio includes mixers, blenders, dryers, screeners, conveyors, bulk material filling and discharging systems, as well as integrated control solutions.
