Premium cookware and professional coffee machines for hospitality and home use
WMF manufactures household cookware and professional-grade coffee and hotel equipment across multiple brands, operating at scale (5,001–10,000 employees) from Germany. The tech stack is heavily SAP-centric (CO, MM, WM, FI modules), typical of a large manufacturing operation managing complex supply chains and discrete product lines. Active projects span plant controlling expansion, embedded systems, and product launches, while pain points cluster around machine uptime and delivery performance—signals of a business where operational reliability and logistics efficiency directly impact customer satisfaction.
