Fermentation-based specialty ingredients for food, nutrition, and personal care
Jungbunzlauer is a 1,400-person ingredient manufacturer operating fermentation facilities across Europe and North America, serving 130+ countries. The tech stack is dominated by SAP (MM, IBP, core ERP) and Microsoft enterprise tools—a production-and-supply-chain-heavy footprint typical of asset-intensive manufacturing. Active projects span SAP integration, S&OP planning, process control across wet milling and enzymatic refining, and IT-OT infrastructure modernization, suggesting the company is mid-cycle in digital transformation while grappling with yield optimization and sustainability compliance.
Jungbunzlauer produces high-quality ingredients derived from fermentation and natural sources, including texturants, acidulants, sweeteners, and minerals for food and beverage, nutrition, health, personal care, and industrial cleaning markets. Founded in 1867 and headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, the company operates large-scale fermentation and processing facilities across Europe and North America. With a diverse customer base across 130+ countries, the business relies on tightly integrated supply chain and production-planning systems to manage multi-site manufacturing, co-product processing, and sustainability compliance across its ingredient portfolio.
Core systems are SAP (MM, IBP, ERP), Microsoft 365, Azure, and VMware infrastructure. Production facilities run DCS (distributed control systems) for process monitoring.
