It was in 2020 that Körber united more than 40 individual brands under one global brand and successfully positioned itself as "home for entrepreneurs". Founded in Germany, the technology group is now globally active in the Business Areas Digital, Pharma, Supply Chain and Technologies and offers a comprehensive technology portfolio ranging from the design and manufacture of machines and systems to operational software and AI-supported solutions to increase efficiency in industrial manufacturing and supply chains. Körber focuses on customer-centric, entrepreneurial thinking and translates this into success for its customers.
"Körber stands for market leadership through technology leadership for the benefit of our customers," emphasizes Stephan Seifert, CEO and Chairman of the Group Executive Board. "In order to remain the first choice of our customers and partners based on this ambition, we have undergone a comprehensive transformation in recent years, which was characterized by strategic acquisitions and investments in new Business Areas and technologies as well as a market-oriented digitization initiative."
"We are very pleased to have been recognized as a brand of the century for our brand strategy, our courage to transform and our implementation strength. This award is a recognition of our work and an incentive for the future," says Henriette Viebig, Head of Brand & Group Communications at Körber.
The successful development from a classic machine manufacturer to a leading, holistic technology provider is reflected in the innovations of the individual Business Areas. In the Business Area Pharma, the leading manufacturing execution system "Werum PAS-X MES" was developed, which digitally controls, monitors and documents the processes over the entire manufacturing cycle in the pharmaceutical, biotech, and cell and gene therapy industries in real time. The "Layer Picker" from the Business Area Supply Chain has become the industry standard for fully automated depalletizing and pallet-to-pallet picking, and Körber's warehouse management system (WMS) efficiently controls all processes, inventories, and resources in the warehouse and is recognized as a "Leader" in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for WMS.
