We are here for you – especially now!

The rapid spread of the Corona virus around the globe and the COVID-19 pandemic is keeping the world in suspense. Public life came to a standstill almost everywhere, the economy almost came to a standstill and is only slowly recovering. It is an unprecedented situation that continues to present us all with enormous challenges.

For the Körber Group, with its approximately 10,000 employees as well as business partners and customers around the world, health and safety continue to have top priority. We are doing everything possible to protect the people we work with from the consequences of the pandemic and to support them as a reliable partner.

What we do in more detail:

1. We protect people

We introduced information and prevention measures for our employees throughout the Group at an early stage. For example, we use a large variety of alternative forms of work - such as home office, staggered working hours or modified shift work - to minimize the risk of infection.

We have also introduced further extensive protection and hygiene measures for our employees worldwide and for personal contact with our partners and customers. We are thus following the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO), the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) and local authorities worldwide, among others.

Even when returning to offices and production facilities step by step and with care, we strictly observe the official regulations and requirements and specially developed safety and hygiene rules.

2. We support our partners and customers

Many of our customers work in areas that are of outstanding importance in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, such as the pharmaceutical industry, the hygiene products industry or logistics. Körber supports them intensively with entrepreneurial action and creative solutions to prevent supply bottlenecks for products and goods that are particularly needed or in high demand.

The business continuity for and together with our customers and partners is the focus of all our attention within the Körber Group and all our companies. The Körber Global Corona Response Team regularly monitors the current situation with regard to the dynamic development of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to be able to initiate the necessary measures for stable and continuous business continuity together with the Group companies at an early stage. Wherever there are further restrictions and conditions imposed by the authorities, we support our customers and partners with telephone, online and remote support, and other options. We are increasingly focusing on digital tools and solutions and will consistently expand and further develop these in order to continue to be a reliable partner for our customers and partners.

3. We are reliable, strong and stable thanks to our financial independence

The massive consequences of the pandemic for the economy and companies are also impacting Körber. Thanks to our strong equity base, our high cash position and our solid operational financing structure - in short, thanks to our financial independence – Körber is very well positioned to master this unprecedented challenge together with our employees, customers and business partners and to emerge from this period stronger than ever.
