Global chemicals and plastics manufacturer scaling cloud infrastructure and operational efficiency
Braskem operates a diversified portfolio across chemicals, polyolefins, and specialty plastics with 40+ industrial units across Brazil, US, Mexico, and Germany. The tech stack reveals a manufacturing-heavy SAP footprint (S/4HANA, WM, EWM, Transportation, SD) layered with industrial automation (Rockwell, DCS, PLC) and Oracle project controls. Active adoption of AWS, Google Cloud, and RAG alongside simultaneous migration toward smart-factory digitalization and multi-cloud governance signals an industrial operator moving IT infrastructure alongside process modernization—a pattern confirmed by hiring acceleration and distributed engineering recruitment across US, Germany, and Brazil.
Braskem is a Brazil-headquartered chemicals and plastics manufacturer with nearly 9,000 employees globally. The company produces plastic resins (PE, PP, PVC) and chemicals for food packaging, construction, automotive, agribusiness, and hygiene applications, serving clients across 80+ countries. Operations span 40+ plants in Brazil, North America, and Europe. The core infrastructure runs on SAP ERP systems (procurement, logistics, warehousing, manufacturing execution) integrated with Rockwell Automation controls and Oracle Primavera for capital project management. Compliance, quality, and complaint management sit on ServiceNow and LIMS platforms.
