Global dairy manufacturer processing milk into consumer and ingredient products across 29 countries
FrieslandCampina is a cooperative-owned dairy processor with 20,928 employees operating across 29 countries. The tech stack reflects a capital-intensive manufacturing operation: SAP (ECC, PM, MM, PLM, BW, EAM, Global Trade Services) for supply-chain and asset management, RPA and Power Platform for process automation, MES and SCADA for production control, and Salesforce for sales. The company is migrating from SAP ECC to S/4HANA while expanding Power BI adoption—a modernization pattern common in large supply-chain organizations seeking real-time production visibility. Active hiring in manufacturing, engineering, and operations, paired with projects on asset management strategy and production standardization, signals operational maturity work rather than new product expansion.
Notable leadership hires: Maintenance Team Lead, Head of Ecommerce, Team Lead, Technical Sales Lead
