Batesville manufactures burial and cremation products for funeral homes across North America, operating a 1,000+ person manufacturing and logistics footprint. The tech stack is enterprise manufacturing-standard (JD Edwards, SQL Server, AutoCAD, Allen-Bradley controls), but hiring velocity is accelerating across manufacturing, engineering, and logistics — suggesting either capacity expansion or modernization of operations. Active projects span driver routing, inventory efficiency, preventive maintenance, and B2B commerce expansion, indicating simultaneous pushes on supply-chain cost reduction and digital channel growth.
