Specialty chemicals distributor serving food, pharma, and personal care markets
Caldic is a multinational chemicals distributor with ~4,000 employees across Europe, Latin America, North America, and Asia Pacific. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward enterprise resource planning (SAP, Oracle JD Edwards, Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management) and Microsoft productivity tools—typical of a large-scale procurement and supply-chain operation. Sales hiring dominates the active headcount, while a documented pain-point pattern around margin management, compliance, and data quality during ERP deployments suggests ongoing digital infrastructure strain beneath the operational surface.
