About

Körber has been spearheading innovation and technology leadership for many decades and continues to do so until today. More than 13,000 experts and team members work towards one common purpose: turning entrepreneurial thinking into customer success. As an international technology group with a strong local presence at more than 100 locations worldwide, our actions and our motivation are clearly geared - to be customers’ and business partners first choice! Rapid change and accelerated transformation are the new normal in the economy – especially in industrial manufacturing and logistics. Digitization, data driven processes, artificial intelligence – the impact of these changes is tremendous and presents companies with major challenges and huge opportunities alike. Those who seize the opportunities while tackling the challenges will be the ones to survive and thrive, of that I am firmly convinced! We at Körber are determined to maintain and further expand our market leading position through technology leadership in order to remain our customers’ first choice. What do we do to achieve this? Primarily: We are willing to embrace the “new” repeatedly and we perceive change as opportunity. Our founder Kurt A. Körber said that he always wanted his business to "Be the first to do the right thing at the right time". We do everything in our power to live up to this claim for our customers every day. Körber is the home for entrepreneurs – we turn entrepreneurial thinking into customer success. And I am proud to be part of this great team! #strongertogether Here on LinkedIn, I would like to share my thoughts on topics such as Industry 4.0, digitization, corporate culture, modern leadership, and sustainable business. I invite you to join me in a lively discussion about these topics.
