CITTI operates a diversified food wholesale business anchored in a 90-year operational history across Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Poland, the Netherlands, and Austria. The company is undergoing simultaneous large-scale infrastructure modernization—new production facility in Gallin, intralogistics greenfield/brownfield projects, production line upgrades—while executing a major SAP S/4HANA migration from legacy systems. The hiring profile (operations-heavy, with junior-to-mid bulk) and active projects suggest a company scaling manufacturing and logistics capacity in parallel with ERP modernization.
