The new Global Capability Center in Hyderabad comes with several strategic benefits such as rich talent pool, strong IT ecosystem, government support and infrastructure, scalability and expansion potential.
The directors of the new company are Marius Grathwohl, vice-president digital products and transformation, and Wolfgang Rundel, vice-president corporate IT at Multivac. “We want to continue being able to offer our customers innovative and intelligent solutions. Here digitization and highly automated, software-supported production lines play a central role,” explained Marius Grathwohl. “Thanks to this expansion, we can now significantly increase our capacity to deal with inquiries and projects even more rapidly and flexibly in the areas of IT and software development.“
Wolfgang Rundel added, “In the coming weeks and months we will gradually strengthen our team on-site with senior developers and young university graduates. Our objective is to grow to around 50 staff members by 2027.”
