Diversified industrial manufacturer spanning fluid systems, medical diagnostics, and emergency response
IDEX is a 9,000-person public manufacturer operating 50+ businesses across industrial infrastructure, health sciences, fire/rescue, and fluid metering. The tech stack reflects a traditional manufacturing footprint—CAD tools (SolidWorks, Inventor, Fusion 360), ERP (JD Edwards), and modern CRM/BI (Dynamics 365, Power BI)—with no major platform migrations underway. Current hiring is concentrated in engineering and manufacturing roles, while pain points center on yield/quality, trade compliance, and product introduction velocity, suggesting internal friction around operationalizing growth across a fragmented portfolio.
Notable leadership hires: Powder Lead, Account Director, HR Director, Sales Director
