Industrial equipment manufacturer for wood processing and footwear production
Fagus-GreCon operates two specialized manufacturing divisions—GreCon (measuring and fire-protection systems for wood-based panel production) and Fagus (shoe lasts and moulds)—with a 112-year operational history. The tech stack is almost entirely Microsoft-first (Office, 365, Teams, Azure, Intune, Power Automate, Purview), reflecting a traditional manufacturing org in mid-digital transformation; active projects center on Microsoft 365 consolidation across newly integrated sites and compliance automation, while pain points cluster around stable M365 operations and security governance.
Fagus-GreCon is a German-based industrial equipment manufacturer with operations in measuring systems, fire protection, spark extinguishing, and shoe-last production. The company serves the wood-based panel industry, footwear manufacturers, and related sectors globally, with on-site customer support. Two distinct business units—GreCon and Fagus—operate as separate profit centers under unified ownership. Headquarters remain in Alfeld, Hanover, where the original 1911 Fagus Factory, designed by Walter Gropius, continues in operation. Current hiring is sparse and Germany-focused, concentrated in engineering and support roles.
