To: Sichuan Chinese people who suffered the heavy earthquake

I was shocked to hear that on 12th May Sichuan Wenchuan had an earthquake measuring 8.0  This disaster has affected so many nearby cities and counties who suffered heavy losses . On behalf of all the members of Krones AG, we express our heartfelt condolences to the victims in this earthquake and give our deepest sympathies to the people in Sichuan.
We believe the Chinese will overcome all the difficulties!
Remark: Krones has donated 1 million RMB, together with 80,000 RMB which is donated by Krones Chinese staff (total: 1.08 million RMB) to China Red Cross through the German Commerce Association
