In November 2020, Koerber successfully placed a Schuldschein loan on the capital market and raised 460 million USD from investors. The initially announced volume of 230 million USD with maturities of four to ten years was significantly oversubscribed by Korber AG decision to double the final volume to 460 million USD.
