Körber acquires majority stake in Dain Studios

Together, the companies want to work on offerings in the field of artificial intelligence.

Hamburg-based technology group Körber acquires a majority stake in Finnish-German data and AI consultancy Dain Studios, which has offices in Berlin, Helsinki and Munich. The acquisition already took effect on December 27 of last year. Dain Studios is to continue to operate independently as a brand. However, the company is to focus more on the manufacturing industry and logistics together with Körber. There are also plans to expand the range of products and services.

"With the consulting expertise of Dain Studios, we are expanding our ability to leverage the potential of AI to create visible added value for our customers," says Christian Schlögel, Chief Digital Officer at Körber. "Thanks to Körber, we can now further expand our strategic relevance in our home markets and become even more international," hopes Dain Studios CEO Dirk Hofmann.

Körber is an international technology group with around 10,000 employees and more than 100 locations worldwide. The company's business areas are digital, pharmaceuticals, supply chains, paper and tobacco. Körber says its goal is to "build technology companies for production efficiency driven by artificial intelligence." That's where Dain Studios comes in: the company helps companies with data strategies and artificial intelligence solutions. The company's clients operate in a variety of industries, including telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, as well as banking, insurance and media.
