Everyone was buoyed up with optimism – The digital world was off the starting blocks and developing at breathtaking speed. In 1989, the term “communication” gained an entirely new dimension against the background of increasing commercial use of the internet. Everyone was curious, waiting for the upcoming changes in keen anticipation and trying to acquire the basic knowledge and skills, so as not to miss out on this new era. But there were no training or degree courses teaching the new subject “internet”. And so Sabine Kolbe-Weber, back then a media designer at Krones, had to teach herself and within next to no time learned all there was to know about HTML. Shortly after that, in 1996, the first Krones website came into being – with information on our products, a traditional guestbook and details on how to contact the company by email, another freshly emerging communication channel.
