Körber has acquired the remaining stake in its Indian joint venture partner, Godrej Körber Supply Chain Limited from Godrej & Boyce, turning it in to a wholly owned subsidiary. 

In a LinkedIn post, Rishi Krishnan, senior manager sales and business development with Godrej Körber Supply Chain Ltd in India, describes the move as a “strategic inflection point that will redefine how intralogistics solutions are designed, built, and delivered in India”.

“Godrej Körber Supply Chain Ltd has been a pioneer and market leader in India’s intralogistics space for over two decades, delivering excellence across a wide spectrum of industries,” Krishnan writes. 

"With deep domain expertise, strong local engineering, and a proven ability to execute at scale, Godrej Körber has played a critical role in shaping modern intralogistics solutions across India.

“This full acquisition unlocks fresh potential for one of the world’s highest-growth markets. 

“It allows Körber to move even closer to customers, invest faster in innovation, and deliver world-class supply chain solutions with a deeply rooted 'Make in India' mindset - combining global technology leadership with strong local manufacturing, engineering, and execution capabilities.”

Mumbai-headquartered Godrej Körber Supply Chain Limited says it is strongly positioned in the Indian market as a systems integrator.

Körber says the acquisition reinforces its long-term commitment to India and the Asia-Pacific region.

“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,” says Körber CEO Stephan Seifert.
