In addition to Zagreb, this focuses on the European metropolises of Hamburg, Munich, Madrid, and Graz. To create valuable synergies, the Croatian team works closely with experts from other Jungheinrich software development locations, especially with Jungheinrich Systemlösungen in Graz.
Overall, the company is taking an important step in implementing its corporate strategy 2025+. In addition to expanding automation and digitalization, Jungheinrich aims to broaden its international presence.
