Global copper producer and recycler with 1M+ tons annual capacity
Aurubis is a publicly traded copper and non-ferrous metals manufacturer operating production sites across Europe and the US, processing ore concentrates and recycling materials into refined metals and alloys. The tech stack reveals a heavily SAP-centric enterprise (S/4HANA, FI, CO, R/3) paired with manufacturing systems (MES, ABB, Simatic S7, TIA Portal, WinCC) — typical of capital-intensive industrial operations. Current adoption of SuccessFactors, Ariba, and Concur signals an HR and supply-chain modernization effort; paired with active cloud migration projects and group-wide S/4HANA template optimization, the company is centralizing finance and operations IT.
