Doughnut maker gets a rise out of Siemens

Krispy Kreme selected Siemens after evaluating automation suppliers, their products, services and global presence. The selection was based upon which company best fitted its business requirements for planned entry into overseas markets. As part of the expansion, a number of UK facilities were established to meet growing demand for its products on this side of the Atlantic. The individual units that make up the doughnut 'production lines' are shipped from the US to the UK. The production line modules are then carefully removed from their containers and moved into location. Siemens engineers then oversee the assembly and installation process before taking control of commissioning and final customer testing.
