Körber prepares to close 450-staff Konstanz sorting-machine plant

Körber is preparing to close its manufacturing site in Konstanz, Germany, which employs 450 people making letter and parcel sorting machines, and is in talks to relocate production abroad. The Hamburg-based group acquired the business from Siemens in 2022, when it was described as a market leader in mail and parcel sorting equipment.
