“Acquiring the remaining shares in Godrej Körber and fully integrating our Indian operations unlocks new opportunities to innovate, invest, and deliver value for our customers in one of the world’s fastest-growing regions.” - Stephan Seifert, CEO - Körber

February 2026 : In a move that marks a new era for warehouse automation in the Asia-Pacific region, international technology group Körber has officially acquired the remaining stake in Godrej Körber Supply Chain Limited. Previously a joint venture with Godrej & Boyce, the Mumbai-based entity is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Körber.

This strategic acquisition solidifies Körber’s presence in India, transforming the local arm into a primary hub for regional development. Since its inception, the partnership has successfully merged Körber’s global technological prowess with Godrej’s intricate knowledge of the Indian market. The company has become a linchpin for intelligent warehouse automation, serving critical sectors including e-commerce, FMCG, and pharmaceuticals.

By fully integrating the Indian operations, Körber aims to provide local customers with direct access to its global ecosystem of R&D, robotics, and software innovations. The transition is designed to accelerate the deployment of world-class automation tailored to the unique complexities of the Indian supply chain.

“Acquiring the remaining shares in Godrej Körber and fully integrating our Indian operations unlocks new opportunities to innovate, invest, and deliver value for our customers in one of the world’s fastest-growing regions. Guided by our ambition for the next decade, we are committed to shaping the future of supply chain and manufacturing - always to the benefit of our customers,” said Stephan Seifert, CEO of Körber.

Helena Garriga, Körber Executive Board Member and President Business Area Supply Chain, added: “With full ownership, we are empowering our local organization and strengthening customer proximity. This transition enables us to better understand customer needs, serve them with greater speed, and build stronger local capabilities. India is now a cornerstone of our global supply chain business.”

Suunil Dabral, Senior Vice President and Head of Region APAC, noted that the teams are "fully energized" to lead this next chapter, leveraging the new ownership model to deliver digital solutions specifically engineered for the region's needs.
