Industrial flow-control systems for water, heating, and infrastructure
Georg Fischer manufactures mission-critical piping, valves, and fluid-transport systems for building, industrial, and infrastructure applications—a CHF 3 billion business across 46 countries. The tech stack is enterprise-heavy (SAP, Dynamics 365, Oracle ERP, Workday, Salesforce) with manufacturing and sales driving the hiring mix, while pain points cluster around process digitalization, regulatory compliance, and internal-system modernization (Oracle asset hierarchy restructuring, Salesforce data governance). This is a capital-intensive, operations-driven organization in mid-cycle digital maturation.

The 2025 Flow Solutions segment generated CHF 3 billion in sales. Distribution and installation are material to the business model, evidenced by active projects around distributor engagement, commissioning support, and regional sales roadmaps.

GF runs multiple enterprise systems: SAP, Oracle ERP, and Dynamics 365 for core financial and operations functions; Salesforce for sales and CRM; Workday for HR. The active project to restructure Oracle asset hierarchy suggests ongoing migration or consolidation work.
