Brazilian pharma manufacturer scaling production and data infrastructure
Biolab is a 1,000+ person pharmaceutical manufacturer in Brazil with three operational plants and a fourth under construction in Minas Gerais. The tech stack mirrors a mid-market manufacturing operation: SAP + JD Edwards for ERP, Power BI + Looker for analytics, and enterprise Adobe + Salesforce for marketing and sales. Active hiring is skewed toward manufacturing (8 roles) and engineering (5), with no listed adopting or replacing activity—suggesting stable infrastructure rather than a modernization push. Current project focus is on equipment retrofit, production optimization, and data governance—typical of a company managing capacity growth across multiple sites.
