Global specialty chemicals manufacturer with 31,000 employees across 100+ countries
Evonik is a €14.1B revenue chemical manufacturer operating across specialty additives, animal nutrition, polymers, and healthcare solutions. The tech stack reflects a scaled manufacturing operation: SAP dominates (S/4HANA, IBP, SuccessFactors, Transportation Management), paired with industrial automation (Siemens, Yokogawa, Emerson DeltaV, SCADA, PLC) and simulation tools (STAR-CCM+, Fluent, OpenFOAM). Active adoption of SCADA and SAP IBP signals investment in process control and demand-planning integration—typical of organizations tightening supply-chain visibility across global production footprints.
