Aerospace metals producer scaling ERP and production analytics
Aubert & Duval manufactures specialty alloys and forgings for aerospace, defense, and energy — held equally by Airbus, Safran, and Tikehau Capital. The tech stack (Oracle, SQL Server, SAP ECC migrating to S/4HANA, LIMS, Python/R for analysis) reflects a capital-intensive manufacturing operation undergoing digital consolidation. Active hiring in engineering and manufacturing, combined with projects around APQP implementation, statistical defect analysis, and supply-chain process deployment in SAP, signals a push to standardize quality and production workflows across multiple sites while managing legacy system complexity.
