Specialty pharmaceutical manufacturer with API contract production across three continents
ESTEVE is a Barcelona-based specialty pharma company operating manufacturing footprint across Spain, Mexico, and China while maintaining commercial presence across Europe and North America. Their tech stack is enterprise-grade but narrow—SAP ecosystem (S/4HANA, IBP, Ariba), Salesforce, and GCP—reflecting a traditional pharma operations posture. Hiring velocity is accelerating across manufacturing, marketing, and finance, with active focus on supply-chain optimization (S&OP, demand planning, forecasting tools) and regulatory compliance automation, suggesting scaled production and market expansion.
