The deal strengthens Körber’s SAP supply chain and digital manufacturing consulting portfolio, extends its global footprint, and creates Körber Stellium to deliver end-to-end supply chain and software solutions.

Körber, a provider of manufacturing and supply chain solutions—including for the pharma industry—has struck a deal to acquire a majority stake in Stellium, an SAP supply chain management consulting firm.1 Once the deal is official, the company will go by Körber Stellium.

How does the Stellium acquisition strengthen Körber’s global supply chain presence?

The acquisition capitalizes on the firm’s key locations across the globe, including North America, the Middle East, and India. When combined with Körber's experience in the consulting space, the newly established company is expected to be one that can handle end-to-end SAP supply chain management operations.

What SAP supply chain and digital manufacturing services will Körber Stellium offer?

Via the deal, Körber now strengthens its global footprint and grows its SAP supply chain management services. The newly combined organization will provide end-to-end process and software consulting, along with solutions such as SAP digital manufacturing and SAP integrated business planning. It will also offer local market knowledge to help customers improve innovation, resilience, and operational efficiency across their various supply chains.

"Strengthening our software consulting capabilities with Stellium is a strategic step in advancing our vision of market leadership through technology leadership,” commented Stephan Seifert, CEO of Körber. “By joining forces, we are expanding our global reach and deepening our expertise to help customers master the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow's supply chains. This move reflects our long-term ambition for the next decade—always to the benefit of our customers.”

How will Stellium’s leadership be integrated into Körber Stellium?

In order to provide continuity and stability when it comes to delivery of services, Stellium’s leadership team will continue to remain heavily involved in the company’s day-to-day operations, working alongside Körber's Competence Center Consulting global leadership team within the company’s proprietary business area supply chain.

"By welcoming Stellium to Körber, we are further strengthening our ability to serve customers in key markets and deliver innovative software solutions that respond to the megatrends shaping our industry. Guided by an entrepreneurial mindset we look forward to building the future of supply chains together," said Helena Garriga, Körber executive board member and president of Business Area Supply Chain.

What does the Körber–Stellium deal mean for customers?

Commenting on the strategic significance of the deal and its expected impact on customers, Stellium CEO Randeep Nambiar point out that, "This partnership marks a defining moment for Stellium and, more importantly, for our customers. From day one, our mission has been to help organizations transform their supply chains and manufacturing operations into true competitive advantages,” explained Randeep Nambiar, Stellium’s CEO. “By joining forces with Körber, we are significantly amplifying that mission—bringing together deep SAP expertise, advanced automation capabilities, and a powerful global footprint. As Körber Stellium, we are uniquely positioned to help customers build resilient, intelligent, and future-ready supply chains that enable them to compete, adapt, and win in an increasingly complex world.”

How does this fit into Körber’s broader supply chain growth strategy?

Körber’s business area supply chain has been experiencing exponential growth as of late, as also demonstrated by its decision to purchase the remaining stake in Godrej Körber Supply Chain Limited from Godrej & Boyce.2 The company integrates its Indian operations in the process, while bringing R&D, robotics, and new software novelties to the table.

“As part of Körber, we can better leverage the expertise of our organization and deliver world-class automation and digital solutions tailored to the unique needs of the region. With the new ownership model, Körber is strengthening its commitment to the fast-growing India and Asia-Pacific markets, with India as a strategic hub for regional development. Our teams are fully energized to lead this next chapter,” said Suunil Dabral, senior vice president and head of region APAC, Körber Business Area Supply Chain.
