Global specialty chemicals manufacturer for health, hygiene, coatings, and wood protection
Arxada manufactures specialty chemicals across human health, home care, professional hygiene, paints, coatings, and wood protection—serving 100+ countries with CHF 2B in annual sales. The tech stack reflects a process-heavy manufacturing operation: SAP (ERP), SCADA and DeltaV (production control), Seeq (data monitoring), plus regulatory and quality tools (Veeva, HPLC, SimaPro). Hiring is distributed across manufacturing (largest cohort), engineering, sales, and R&D—consistent with a multi-site global producer managing 24 plants and 14 research centers. Pain points cluster around regulatory compliance, asset performance, and cost control across a fragmented supply footprint.

The company formulates and manufactures ingredients and active substances for five primary end-markets: Human Health & Nutrition, Home & Personal Care, Professional Hygiene, Paints & Coatings, and Wood Protection.
