Global kitchen, foodservice, and coffee systems manufacturer with 60+ operating companies
Franke Group manufactures and distributes kitchen fixtures, commercial foodservice equipment, and coffee systems across five continents through three divisions and ~60 subsidiaries. The tech stack is heavily SAP-native (ERP, BW/4HANA, Analytics Cloud, S/4HANA, C4C, BTP, NetWeaver, ABAP) with emerging cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS, GCP) and modern DevOps tooling (Jenkins, GitLab, Kubernetes, Docker). Active digitization and back-office automation projects, paired with a sales-led hiring velocity (38 open sales roles vs. 16 engineering), signal expansion into new markets and channels rather than product-platform buildout.
Notable leadership hires: Assembly Lead, Sales Director, Country Head HR, Chief Accountant, Channel Director
