At the end of June, we were able to organise an excursion to the Körber plant in Bergedorf, Hamburg. Our student group accepted the company's invitation to visit the production hall. An interesting tour of the plant was followed by a presentation on the history of the international group of companies, the individual product divisions and how Körber organises innovation processes. Körber AG as an employer was presented in a lecture on the HR department. Many thanks to Jana Siouzou, Niklas Meybohm and Michael Stietz.
