European garage and front door manufacturer modernizing enterprise operations
Hörmann is a legacy manufacturing business (founded 1935, 5K–10K employees) running a deep SAP estate—S/4HANA, Sales Cloud, CPQ, Commerce Cloud, BTP—paired with modern DevOps infrastructure (Kubernetes, GitLab CI/CD, Terraform, Docker). Active hiring is concentrated in engineering roles, and projects signal a digital transformation wave: CPQ process integration, CI/CD pipeline buildout, and HR system overhauls. The stack shape and project mix reveal a company bridging 1980s-era enterprise systems with cloud-native tooling, likely to manage complexity across manufacturing, distribution, and e-commerce.

Operationally, Hörmann runs a full SAP footprint—ERP, CRM, CPQ, commerce, and HR platforms—integrated via MuleSoft and custom middleware. Current initiatives address material supply constraints, workplace service optimization, and sustainability compliance, while engineering teams accelerate CI/CD and DevOps adoption to support faster deployment cycles.
