We

Entrepreneurial thinking for customer success

We pursue a strategy that is geared towards long-term profitable growth and focus on ecosystems. Our aim is to be customers’ first choice with our technology solutions.

At Körber, our long-term strategy is based on global megatrends and technology trends. With our innovations, we drive automation, digitization and interconnection in the industry and thus actively and responsibly shape technological change. Our market-leading solutions always create added value for our customers.

"Being the first to do the right thing at the right time." This entrepreneurial maxim was one of the guiding principles of our founder Kurt A. Körber and remains central to our actions today. In our strategy, which is geared towards long-term profitable growth, we therefore focus on ecosystems that solve the increasingly complex problems of our customers today and tomorrow.

lOur strategy of focusing on global megatrends and technology trends is paying off. We want to be the first to do the right thing at the right time.r

Stephan Seifert, Chairman of the Group Executive Board of Körber AG

Körber's future-oriented portfolio is the foundation for a value-adding ecosystem and is based on the expansion and development of our technology stack: We are not only continuously strengthening our expertise in mechanical engineering and process equipment, but have also built up extensive know-how and capacities in the fields of operational software and digital technologies such as artificial intelligence.

Acquisitions and joint ventures play an important role in expanding and strengthening our portfolio, as well as strategic partnerships to provide customers with end-to-end solutions along the entire value chain.

    
Focus on ecosystem building: Our strategy at a glance

We have divided the group-wide initiatives to implement and support our strategy into three key pillars:

1. We accelerate – strengthening the core business
Körber is already a leader in many areas. We are consolidating this market position by optimizing processes or strengthening our global competitiveness, for example. This will enable us to provide our products and services to our customers even faster and more efficiently in the future.

2. We innovate – integrating new technologies and business models
We invest an above-average amount in research and development in order to continue to live up to our ambition of "market leadership through technology leadership" in the future. This applies to all three levels of our technology stack: hardware, software and digital solutions, which we connect with each other in the best possible way. We see enormous potential for value creation in particular in the use of data with the help of artificial intelligence – which is why cybersecurity is an important priority at Körber.

3. We grow – exploiting new and global markets
Globally positioned, regionally established: With more than 100 locations, we are globally present in order to be as close as possible to our customers and markets and to serve them in the best possible way. In addition to our core markets, we focus in particular on high-growth markets in Asia and North America.

A foundation for the future

Sustainability is an integral part of our strategy. With the commitment to "Net Zero" CO₂e emissions by 2040, we have set ourselves ambitious goals that we are consistently working towards: In the future, the activities of the entire Körber Group will leave a "Net Zero" footprint.

We also want to be people’s first choice, because they are the ones who make Körber's success possible: A corporate culture that is characterized by trust and collaboration, as well as a future-oriented organizational structure that ensures agility, flexibility and seamless implementation capability, create the basis for our entrepreneurial actions today and tomorrow – always to the benefit of our customers worldwide.
