Tier-1 automotive hydraulic components supplier with global manufacturing footprint
Bontaz manufactures hydraulic subassemblies (valves, nozzles, solenoids, injection parts) for major OEMs across five continents. The tech stack reveals a manufacturing-operations core (Infor LN, Matillion, Power BI, SQL, Snowflake) layered over legacy EDI and office infrastructure, with minimal adoption velocity — only Unity entering the stack. Active projects around ERP/MES deployment and industrial modernization, combined with pain points centered on production downtime and data consistency, signal a company in mid-cycle operational digitization rather than acceleration.
