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."

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.
