GEZE is a 160-year-old manufacturer of door, window, and building-automation technology with 3,200+ employees across four production regions (Germany, China, Serbia, Spain). The tech stack reflects a traditional industrial operations focus—SAP ERP, CNC, Siemens, Fanuc—with active migration to SAP S/4HANA and Microsoft 365. Current hiring (50 open roles, decelerating) skews heavily toward support and junior engineers, while project work concentrates on supply-chain digitalization (shipping optimization, material-flow concepts, data governance), signaling internal friction around operational efficiency rather than product innovation.
GEZE manufactures and distributes door, window, and safety-technology solutions for commercial and residential buildings worldwide. Founded in 1863 and headquartered in Leonberg, Germany, the company operates 37 subsidiaries and regional branches to maintain customer proximity across markets. Core offerings span automatic door systems, glass facades, smoke/heat extraction, building automation, and smart-building integration. The company serves architects, contractors, and facility managers from early design through operational support. Production spans Germany (1,100 employees at headquarters), China, Serbia, and Spain; the organization also maintains six branch offices within Germany.
