Kores chooses Ness to develop and support SAP solutions 

Prague, 27 January 2023: International office and school supplies manufacturer Kores has selected Ness Czech to develop and support its SAP solution. Ness Czech succeeded primarily due to its competence in SAP and extensive experience in providing support in an international environment. Ness continues to pursue its strategy of establishing its SAP division in foreign markets and international companies. 

Ness will provide support and development of SAP solutions for Kores in the countries where the company has manufacturing plants and subsidiaries, not only in Europe but also in Latin America. “The customer was convinced by our competence in the development and support of SAP solutions. Our experience in SAP application change management, system updates and coordinated development of the entire platform across many countries and manufacturing sites is also important,” says Martin Silvička, CEO of Ness Czech. 

NESS experts will first focus on the system status and handling of tickets and incidents. Gradually, change management will be introduced and an EDI interface for automated information transfer with business partners will be deployed. 

The SAP information system is an important information base for us in managing business and production activities. That’s why we were looking for a partner who could ensure the smooth operation and development of the entire solution and who had the necessary knowledge and experience of the international environment,” says Helmut Bruckner, Managing Director for Kores Europe. 

Kores is a family-owned manufacturer and innovator of office and school products. The company has a wide range of offerings in office, school, art and creative supplies. The company, headquartered in Vienna, was founded in 1887 and today is represented in more than 85 countries. Since 1996, Kores has had a production plant in Strmilov, South Bohemia, where, among other things, glue sticks and markers are produced. Other production plants are in Mexico, Venezuela and Colombia.
