Specialty paper manufacturer with global operations across photography, packaging, and décor
Felix Schoeller manufactures specialty papers across photography, digital printing, packaging, and furniture markets, operating five German plants plus 12 additional sites in nine other countries. The tech stack reveals a traditional industrial operations core—Siemens PLCs, SCADA, DCS, SAP for ERP—paired with modern software engineering tooling (Node.js, Angular, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Azure). Hiring is heavily weighted toward manufacturing and engineering roles at intern and junior levels, suggesting a focus on production optimization and process standardization rather than software-first transformation.
