Körber expands local software offering for the life sciences industry in Italy

Italy ranks as one of the key pharmaceutical production markets in Europe with a turnover of more than 33 billion euros. Next to Germany and France, this production value is amongst the highest within the European Union. Italy has the biggest CDMO (Contract Development Manufacturing Organizations) industry in Europe and its biopharma segment has been growing at a staggering pace for a decade.

Already today, Körber has a strong local installed base of Werum PAS-X MES with many multinational customers. In order to be able to support Italian customers even better in the future, Körber is strengthening its local team.

“Our customers benefit from the establishment of a local, dedicated Körber team consisting of MES Consultants, Solution Architects, Project Managers and Sales & Business Consultants,” says Mirko Magrini, Senior Manager Sales & Business Consulting, Körber Business Area Pharma. “Because with our local team we are present at the locations of our customers and speak their language. Our team will continue to grow to meet the needs of our Italian customers for scalable support and a full local service offering. Our goal is to establish Körber as the leading MES provider for the pharma, biotech and cell & gene therapy industries in Italy.”

Körber has a strong local presence and extensive market knowledge in Italy and is already active in Italy with the Tissue and Technologies Business Areas.
