Körber AG is a strategic management holding company based in Hamburg.

[7] The group's international expansion began in 1948, when Eric M. Warburg, who had been living in exile, helped Körber establish contact with American cigarette manufacturers.

[9] By 1953, his company exported 80 percent of its products, and machines from Hauni plants were used in 48 countries.

[11] The diversification of the company began in 1970, when it purchased E. C. H. Will, a manufacturer of paper-processing machines that was based in Hamburg-Lokstedt.

[12] At the request of German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, Körber purchased the grinding machine manufacturer Blohm in Bergedorf in 1978.

[14] The acquisition of Schaudt Maschinenbau GmbH (Stuttgart and Ellwangen) in 1983 broadened its foundation.

[22] In 1995, Körber AG became a management holding company, which supervised the group's three business divisions at the time.

[29] Since 2020, the group and its business divisions and companies have appeared as a single, unified brand: Körber.
