Building on this know-how Bizerba expands its software competence and continues to invest in digitalization of processes and in new solutions. To further strengthen the international development efforts, and to recognize the strategic significance of software solutions for Bizerba, they open now an own hub for global software development in Barcelona. In addition to the headquarter in Balingen and in close collaboration, the new location will be a central point for the future expansion of this sector. It shall lead to a significant increase in sales of software components. “The importance of intelligent applications, especially for fresh management, frictionless shopping and optimized production management will increase dramatically during the next years”, says Tudor Andronic, Vice President Bizerba Software Solutions.

As a famous location for many important companies in the software industry, Barcelona is also the perfect place for Bizerba to quickly advance this section. Dr Ulrich Heller is director for global software development at Bizerba. He says: “Barcelona is the perfect place to get the employees we need to reach our goals.” In his opinion, the global focus is important to scout new trends where they arise.

Andreas Kraut gives a glimpse to the future: “We want to establish Bizerba as a successful global provider for software. This is a big chance for our company.”
