Medical Device Tuttlingen, BW 5,001–10,000 employees Privately Held

KARL STORZ manufactures endoscopes, imaging systems, and integrated operating room platforms across human and veterinary surgery. The tech stack reveals a hardware-forward operation: CAD, CNC, and Fanuc robotic tooling dominate the base, paired with SAP ERP/S/4HANA and active SAP EWM rollout across international plants — a classic medtech supply-chain modernization. Hiring is distributed across engineering, manufacturing, and sales with a rising intern cohort, while pain-point clustering (regulatory compliance, legacy documentation, portfolio optimization) signals a company managing both legacy product lines and digital transformation.
