Austrian brewery group managing production, logistics, and multi-brand distribution
Brau Union Österreich operates a vertically integrated brewing and beverage distribution network across Austria with 1,001–5,000 employees. The tech stack is heavily SAP-dependent (S/4HANA, Analytics Cloud) plus Salesforce and IBM Maximo for asset maintenance—a pattern typical of mid-market industrial manufacturers managing complex supply chains. Active projects center on maintenance optimization and preventive budgeting, and hiring is concentrated in logistics (14 roles) and sales (8 roles), with a notable skew toward entry-level talent (17 interns), suggesting either high-volume operational scaling or structured graduate recruitment.
Brau Union Österreich is Austria's leading brewery group, handling production, quality control, and national distribution of branded beer and beverage products. The company operates from Linz, Oberösterreich, and manages a multi-brand portfolio sold through wholesale channels to retail and on-premise customers. Operations span brewing facilities with HPLC quality assurance, warehousing and logistics infrastructure, and direct sales teams. Current focus areas include maintenance system modernization (IBM Maximo implementation), inventory optimization, preventive maintenance scheduling, and customer service improvements.
