ARDEX is a 75-year-old building-materials chemist (tile adhesives, grouts, flooring binders) undergoing significant enterprise-stack modernization. The tech foundation is SAP (ECC → S/4HANA) and Microsoft 365 (Teams, Exchange, SharePoint), with active projects spanning S/4HANA rollouts, Entra ID integration, and low-code automation on SAP BTP. The hiring mix skews heavily toward engineering and operations roles—most at intern and mid-level—suggesting they're scaling technical depth during a multi-year platform upgrade while managing legacy system complexity.
Notable leadership hires: Team Lead Workplace
ARDEX manufactures and distributes specialty building-chemistry products—adhesives, sealants, and preparation systems—primarily to trade craftspeople and trade distributors across Germany and internationally. Founded in 1949 and family-owned, the company positions itself on innovation and quality assurance. Operationally, ARDEX runs a traditional manufacturing and distribution model with supply-chain challenges (material availability, procurement optimization, shipping processes) now intersecting with a major digital transformation: consolidating SAP landscapes across multiple regions, unifying IT infrastructure on Microsoft 365, and introducing low-code/no-code tooling to reduce system-integration friction. Treasury and capital-raising activity signals financial optimization during this transition.
ARDEX runs SAP ECC and is mid-rollout on SAP S/4HANA across national and international operations. They also use SAP BTP for low-code/no-code automation and SAP FI/CO for financial management.
ARDEX is headquartered in Witten, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, and currently hires only in Germany.
