Fragrance, beauty, taste and wellbeing ingredient maker with global plant footprint
Givaudan develops fragrances, flavours and wellbeing ingredients, and its stack splits cleanly between an SAP-centric enterprise core (FI, GTS, SuccessFactors) and a deep plant-floor OT layer of Siemens TIA Portal, WinCC, SCADA, DCS and Profibus. Hiring tilts toward manufacturing, engineering and operations, matching a global OT roadmap rollout and pressure on GMP compliance, cybersecurity and energy use across sites.
