Körber Group

We are a global logistics and shipping company that has been in business for over 160 years, founded back in 1865 by Friedrich Heinrich Bertling in Lübeck, Germany. What started as a ship owning and operating company has grown into a worldwide organization with 50 offices and 700 employees across 30 countries. We specialize in the really challenging stuff - complex project freight forwarding, transporting cargo to remote locations, and handling difficult terrains that other logistics providers might shy away from. Our operation is built around three core divisions: project logistics solutions, shipping and chartering, and IT services. We developed our own transport management and tracking systems called BLU and BLU4U to give clients full visibility into their supply chains. Being privately held and independent means we can make decisions quickly and maintain close, long-term relationships with our clients. We work primarily with energy, mining, renewables, construction, and chemical companies, delivering their critical cargo to some of the most demanding environments on the planet. Our flat organizational structure and focus on developing in-house expertise allows us to respond rapidly to whatever logistical challenges come our way.

We've been building technology that actually matters since 1886, when Robert Bosch opened his workshop in Stuttgart. Today, with about 418,000 of us across the globe, we're still focused on the same thing: creating products and services that make life better. We work across four main areas - mobility, industrial technology, consumer goods, and energy and building technology - but the real thread connecting everything we do is our commitment to quality and reliability. Whether we're developing sensors for automated driving, power tools for DIYers, or smart home systems that help save energy, our goal is technology that's genuinely useful. What drives us day-to-day is pretty straightforward: we want to solve real problems. That means putting our expertise in sensor technology, software, and connectivity to work on challenges like electrification, digitalization, and sustainability. We're not interested in technology for technology's sake - we're interested in solutions that help people live better lives while conserving natural resources. From our research and development teams to the people building products on the factory floor, we're all working toward the same purpose: technology that's "Invented for life."
