Industrial laundry machinery manufacturer with global distribution
Kannegiesser manufactures industrial laundry systems—washing, drying, flatwork finishing, and sortation equipment—across seven factories in Germany and the UK, serving 54 countries. The tech stack is traditional manufacturing-grade (SAP, AutoCAD, EPLAN, OPC UA, RFID) with no recent platform shifts. Hiring has decelerated and skews mid-level and engineering-focused, while active projects reveal internal pressure on process optimization, financial systems, and warehouse digitalization rather than product innovation.
