Körber is a global technology group founded in Hamburg in 1946 by Kurt A. Körber, originally out of a small workshop repairing cigarette machines. Today the company employs around 13,000 people across more than 100 locations worldwide, operating across three business areas: Pharma, Supply Chain, and Technologies.
The group builds and integrates hardware, software, and digital services for industries where operational complexity is high and the cost of failure is significant. Its work spans warehouse automation and logistics software within supply chain management, pharmaceutical packaging within the pharma sector, and sensor systems and other technology components through its Technologies division.
Körber's stated approach is to deliver integrated systems - combining its own products across hardware, software, and services - rather than point solutions. It positions itself as a partner to some of the world's leading companies, with a focus on reducing operational complexity and improving efficiency in manufacturing, logistics, and pharmaceutical production.
