Krones equipment financing helps Canadian beverage producers, breweries, dairies, food processors, bottling plants, co-packers, and packaging facilities acquire filling, labelling, packaging, process, inspection, recycling, and intralogistics systems without draining working capital. Mehmi finances new and used Krones equipment through equipment financing in Canada and equipment leasing options, helping businesses preserve cash for installation, conveyors, utilities, integration, spare parts, and production growth.
Krones equipment is built for beverage and liquid-food production, where uptime, hygiene, speed, and packaging consistency directly affect revenue. Krones describes its portfolio as covering process technology, filling technology, packaging machines, and information technology for beverage and food producers, with systems used for glass bottles, cans, and polyethylene terephthalate containers. For Canadian breweries, water bottlers, juice producers, dairy processors, co-packers, and ready-to-drink beverage companies, a Krones line can support filling, capping, labelling, packing, palletising, inspection, and plant automation.
Financing usually makes more sense than paying cash because a Krones project is rarely just one machine. A bottling line may require fillers, rinsers, cappers, labellers, conveyors, packers, inspection units, pasteurisation, tanks, controls, installation, rigging, utilities, spare parts, and operator training. Using cash for the full purchase can leave the business short on raw materials, packaging inventory, payroll, repairs, and launch costs. A lease or loan can align payments with the equipment’s production value while preserving liquidity during commissioning and ramp-up.
A practical example is a Canadian beverage company financing a Krones filling and packaging line to move from outsourced co-packing to in-house production. Krones states that it plans and manufactures individual filling and packaging systems as well as complete lines for the beverage and liquid-food industry. With leasing, payments may be treated differently than ownership, while goods and services tax or harmonized sales tax registrants may claim input tax credits on eligible tax paid through lease payments. With a purchase loan, the business usually considers interest deductibility and capital cost allowance. That is why the lease versus buy equipment decision should be reviewed before signing the equipment quote.
Krones financing can apply to filling systems, can filling lines, bottling lines, labellers, cappers, inspection systems, packers, palletisers, depalletisers, conveyors, pasteurisers, process technology, brewery systems, aseptic filling lines, polyethylene terephthalate bottle systems, recycling systems, intralogistics systems, and plant software. Krones says its can solutions cover machines from filling to pasteurisation, labelling, and packing, with output ranges from 10,000 to 130,000 cans per hour. Its aseptic filling systems can use wet or dry sterilisation and are designed for different performance ranges and filling conditions.
Approval depends on model age, system configuration, operating hours, maintenance history, controls, automation, line speed, installation requirements, serviceability, and resale demand. For packaging, manufacturing, food-processing, and material-handling-related equipment, lenders commonly want age plus term to stay within the 25-year ceiling, with tighter structures for older assets or systems near heavy-use limits. A newer Krones filler, labeller, or packaging system with dealer documentation, maintenance records, serial numbers, and clear production use may support a stronger term than an older private-sale line with missing controls, unknown operating history, or poor dismantling records.
A practical example is a brewery buying a used Krones canning line from a dealer to increase in-house packaging capacity. If the buyer has clean bank statements, stable time in business, a clear invoice, equipment details, serial numbers, photos, and installation planning, the collateral story is stronger. If the line is disassembled, missing components, privately sold, or lacks inspection evidence, the lender may ask for more down, shorten the term, or decline. Mehmi can review whether the system fits eligible equipment financing before the buyer commits funds.
A strong Krones financing file should explain how the equipment increases output, reduces co-packing costs, improves packaging quality, supports a new product line, or replaces aging production equipment. Most files need a completed credit application, three to six months of original PDF bank statements, equipment quote or invoice, model and serial details, photos for used equipment, and a personal net worth statement. Financial statements are usually required above $250,000, and a credit write-up is usually needed above $100,000.
Clean dealer or integrator files can often be reviewed within 24 to 48 hours when the buyer, vendor, and equipment details are complete. Private sales, older used lines, multi-machine projects, challenged-credit files, and larger transactions usually take three to five business days because lenders may need seller verification, bill of sale, lien search, inspection evidence, and proof of payment flow. Buyers should understand private sale equipment financing before agreeing to informal seller terms.
Underwriters review character, capacity, capital, collateral, and conditions. Character means bureau quality, repayment history, and whether bank statements show repeated non-sufficient funds. Capacity means the business can handle payments while the line is being installed and commissioned. Capital means down payment, retained earnings, and owner net worth support the transaction. Collateral means the Krones equipment has identifiable value, condition, serviceability, and resale demand. Conditions mean industry, time in business, production volume, contracts, and whether the asset is replacing a current line or adding capacity. Approval killers include repeated non-sufficient funds, unresolved Canada Revenue Agency arrears, missing serial numbers, unverifiable private sellers, incomplete dismantled lines, unsupported controls, poor installation planning, or equipment that is too old for the requested term.
Q: Can I finance used Krones in Canada?
A: Yes, used Krones equipment can be financed in Canada when the line or machine is properly documented, identifiable, and still useful in production. Lenders review model age, condition, operating history, controls, service records, serial numbers, photos, configuration, dismantling status, and resale demand. Dealer or integrator-supported purchases are usually easier than private sales because invoices, ownership, and funding flow are cleaner.

Q: What Krones models does Mehmi Financial Group finance?
A: Mehmi Financial Group can review financing for Krones bottling lines, canning lines, fillers, labellers, cappers, inspection machines, packers, palletisers, depalletisers, conveyors, pasteurisers, aseptic systems, process technology, recycling systems, and intralogistics equipment. Approval is not based on brand alone. The lender still needs to confirm age, condition, useful life, invoice, serial numbers, installation scope, and business purpose. Stronger files usually involve supported equipment with clear documentation and a direct link to production revenue.
Q: How long does approval take?
A: Clean dealer or integrator files can often be reviewed within 24 to 48 hours when the application, bank statements, quote, and equipment details are complete. Larger Krones lines, private sales, older used equipment, or challenged-credit files usually take three to five business days. Delays often come from missing serial numbers, unclear seller ownership, non-original bank statements, unresolved liens, incomplete line documentation, or weak installation planning. Mehmi packages the file around cash flow, collateral strength, and the production reason for buying the equipment.
Q: What documents do I need to apply?
A: Most applicants need a completed credit application, three to six months of original PDF bank statements, equipment quote or invoice, model and serial details, photos for used equipment, and a personal net worth statement. Financial statements are usually required above $250,000, and a stronger credit write-up is usually required above $100,000. Private sales require a bill of sale, lien search, seller verification, and proof of payment process. If credit is weaker, lenders may ask for a larger contribution, which is explained in this guide to equipment financing down payments.
Q: Is leasing or buying Krones better for my Canadian business?
A: Leasing is often better when the business wants to preserve cash, match payments to production-line output, and keep capital available for packaging materials, ingredients, labour, spare parts, and installation. Buying can make sense when the line has a long useful life, the company wants ownership from day one, and working capital remains strong after purchase. The better structure depends on tax advice, equipment age, commissioning risk, end-of-term goals, and how long the system will stay in production. For larger projects, owners should calculate the full landed cost using an equipment financing cost calculator.
Q: How does goods and services tax or harmonized sales tax work on leased Krones in Canada?
A: On most equipment leases, the lender pays the applicable tax at purchase and passes goods and services tax or harmonized sales tax through each lease payment. If the business is registered and uses the equipment for commercial activity, it may be able to claim input tax credits on eligible tax paid through the lease payments. Provincial sales tax can also apply to financed or leased equipment in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, while Quebec sales tax applies in Quebec.
