Medical device manufacturer specializing in ostomy and continence care products
Hollister is a 100+ year-old, employee-owned medical device company operating across ostomy, continence, and critical care segments. The tech stack reflects an operational maturity phase: heavy ERP investment (SAP S/4HANA, Dynamics 365 both adopting), RPA automation (UiPath across orchestration and testing), and data analytics infrastructure (Azure Synapse, Databricks). Hiring is sales-led (24 roles) with meaningful engineering and research capacity (16 and 11), signaling an organization balancing established revenue operations with product innovation and operational efficiency gains.
Hollister develops, manufactures, and markets healthcare products and services globally, with particular depth in ostomy care, continence care, and critical care. The company operates as an independent, employee-owned manufacturer with 1,001–5,000 employees headquartered in Libertyville, Illinois since 1921. Current operational focus spans new product development, global product launches, prototype work, and health professional engagement. Active pain points include cost reduction across production and procurement, process automation, market penetration (hospital ostomy sales and GPO awards), and manufacturing efficiency (machine downtime reduction). The organization is actively modernizing its systems infrastructure, with concurrent ERP and CRM consolidation underway.
