Freudenberg Performance Materials Tech Stack
Global technical textiles manufacturer with €1.4B revenue, scaling cloud and AI infrastructure
Freudenberg Performance Materials operates a complex, globally distributed manufacturing footprint (36 production sites across 15 countries, 5,000 employees) now migrating to cloud and AI. The tech stack reveals a transition underway: Azure and GCP adoption alongside on-premise SAP infrastructure (Dynamics NAV, SAP BW/4HANA), combined with active LLM adoption (OpenAI, Gemini, Mistral, Ollama) and CI/CD pipeline work. Engineering hiring outpaces other departments, signaling investment in digital infrastructure and process automation to address long-standing pain points around equipment reliability, process standardization, and SAP harmonization across sites.
