Company History and Milestones
In 1921, Ludwig Krohne began production of variable area flowmeters. In 1949, Krohne's grandson, Kristian Dubbick joined the company and grew it from an initial workforce of eight people to become a worldwide leader in the field. In 1952, KROHNE developed the first electromagnetic flowmeter for industrial applications. In the early 1980's, KROHNE was responsible for developing the first dual-beam ultrasonic flowmeter and the world's first ceramic measuring tube for electromagnetic flowmeters. The 1990's saw the introduction of microwave radar (FMCW) level gauges for process tanks and the first straight-tube Coriolis mass flowmeter. The most recent product introductions feature state of the art developments in magmeters, radar and TDR level and ultrasonic flow, clearly setting KROHNE apart as a leader of innovation.
