Latin America's largest fastener manufacturer scaling manufacturing operations
Ciser manufactures fasteners across 27,000 SKUs distributed to 20,000 customers in 20+ countries, operating from two facilities in Brazil with ~1,900 employees. The company is mid-way through a manufacturing modernization cycle: actively implementing MES (manufacturing execution systems) while running concurrent SAP development projects and a digitalization initiative across shop-floor processes. Hiring is balanced across manufacturing, sales, and engineering—a pattern consistent with a company closing technology gaps and moving from legacy systems toward integrated digital operations.
