European steel and metalworking group scaling digital operations across 20 subsidiaries
GMH Gruppe operates a 20-company federation of steel, forging, and foundry manufacturers generating ~€2B in annual revenue. The tech stack reflects a traditional industrial enterprise in transition: heavy SAP footprint (ERP, SuccessFactors, now adopting BTP), containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes), and industrial automation (TIA Portal, PLC). Active hiring skews heavily toward manufacturing (68 roles) and engineering (40), with the majority at intern/mid-level, signaling either apprenticeship/training programs or scaling production capacity. Current project velocity centers on SAP implementation, digitalization, and production optimization—not moonshot innovation—indicating a pragmatic focus on operational efficiency within existing systems.

The company explicitly positions itself as Germany's most climate-friendly steel manufacturer, with roadmap visibility toward CO2-neutral production. Operations span Germany and Austria.
SAP suite: SAP ERP, SAP S/4HANA, SAP SuccessFactors, SAP HCM, and actively adopting SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). ABAP and Core Data Services underpin custom integrations.
