Aviko processes over 2 million tonnes of potatoes annually across 13 production facilities in six countries, serving 110+ markets. The tech stack reveals a manufacturing-heavy operation: SAP core systems, production control via PLC/SCADA/HMI, and industrial IoT protocols (MQTT, OPC UA, PROFINET). The company is actively migrating to SAP S/4HANA while adopting IIoT—a signal of digital transformation focused on real-time visibility and predictive maintenance. Pain points cluster around downtime, machine availability, and maintenance optimization, which align with the operations digitalization and preventive maintenance projects underway.
Aviko is a global potato products manufacturer and subsidiary of Royal Cosun, an agricultural cooperative. Founded in 1962 by 32 potato growers, the company now operates 2,500+ employees across production, engineering, and commercial functions. The product portfolio spans over 100 varieties distributed to foodservice, retail, and out-of-home channels. Manufacturing forms the core hiring focus, alongside engineering and operations roles. Production footprint spans the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Poland, and China. Strategic initiatives target wholesale sales in the DACH region, operational efficiency through digitalization, and ISO 14001 compliance.
