Consumer packaged goods manufacturer serving retail and healthcare
First Quality operates 8 manufacturing campuses across the U.S. and Canada producing diapers, wipes, incontinence products, paper goods, and detergents for major retailers and healthcare systems. The tech stack reflects a traditional manufacturing operations posture—SAP ECC, PLC/HMI/DCS controls, MES, and Salesforce—with heavy reliance on process automation (Automation Anywhere, Power Automate) and business intelligence (Qlik Sense, Power BI). The hiring mix (engineering and manufacturing roles leading activity) and active projects (equipment controls, automation implementation, machine data collection) signal a capital-intensity shift toward operational digitization rather than product innovation.
