"Software solutions such as the products and services provided by Werum are becoming increasingly important for us as a technology group, and are also highly relevant from a strategic perspective," Bauer added.
Werum executive board chairman Hartmut Krome said: "Our company will retain its Werum brand and market profile, while at the same time it would be integrated into Körber’s strong structures."
