What is the Körber Group?

The Körber Group is led by Körber AG as a management holding company. It brings together three Business Areas—Pharma, Supply Chain, and Technologies—under one shared vision, strategy and brand. What unites us is our purpose: We turn entrepreneurial thinking into customer success.

As a global technology provider for smart manufacturing and supply chain solutions, Körber stands for leading hardware, software, and digital services. Around 13,000 employees at more than 100 locations worldwide combine strong expertise in powerful ecosystems, creating measurable value for our customers.

Since our founding in Hamburg, Germany, in 1946, we have grown into an international technology leader. We have consistently aligned our portfolio with global megatrends and future markets, with the goal of remaining the right partner for our customers tomorrow, too. A key milestone on this path: in 2020, we united more than 40 individual brands under one shared brand, Körber—a step that continues to shape how we present ourselves and see ourselves today.

What drives Körber?

With LIFE 2035, we have defined four strong pillars that show how we shape our leading, driving role in the markets and with our customers, drive innovation, grow sustainably, and empower our organization globally:

  • Leadership – We set benchmarks as a trusted partner in the Life Science, Supply Chain, and High-Tech industry. We focus on customer centricity, deliver added value through leading ecosystems, and act sustainably in everything we do. We strengthen our leadership through organic growth and acquisitions.
  • Innovation – Innovation is the core of our DNA. We master the full technology stack—hardware, software, and digital solutions. With a clear focus on automated, intelligent, and regenerative (AIR) Technologies, we create future-driven solutions for the smart factory and process industry, helping our customers anticipate and solve tomorrow’s challenges.
  • Findependence – We are financially strong and independent. By 2035, we aim to achieve 10 billion euro in sales, while maintaining robust free cash flow. Our healthy, future-driven portfolio is based on global megatrends and technology trends, enabling us to invest boldly and shape our future with confidence.
  • Empowerment – Our organization is globally empowered. We nurture a culture of lifelong learning built on trust, collaboration, and performance. We invest in our people and locations worldwide, fostering agile, digital, and AI-savvy teams. Körber is a place where everyone can unlock their full potential and contribute to our shared success.
