German dairy and cheese manufacturer with 1,200+ employees across production and logistics
Champignon-Hofmeister is a privately held dairy processor and cheese specialist based in Bavaria, founded in 1908 and now in its third generation of family ownership. The company operates a heavily SAP-dependent infrastructure (ECC, S/4HANA, SuccessFactors, Analytics Cloud, MII, EWM, IBP) across manufacturing, logistics, and supply-chain functions—a classic mid-market German industrial stack. Current hiring velocity is accelerating, with 50 roles posted in the last 30 days; the intake skews heavily toward manufacturing and internships, alongside active work on HR digitalization, ISO 27001 compliance, and SAP system modernization.

Champignon-Hofmeister manufactures soft-cheese specialties and dried milk and whey derivatives, selling approximately 50 distinct cheese products across more than 55 countries. The company employs around 1,200 people across multiple production facilities in Germany (Lauben, Bavaria serves as headquarters) and operates a regional supply model centered on local milk sourcing. The business combines traditional cheese-making with modern manufacturing and logistics operations. Distribution, inventory management, and quality-assurance processes are coordinated through an integrated SAP suite, with recent strategic focus on profitability optimization in product portfolio and logistics segments.
The company runs a comprehensive SAP ecosystem: ECC, S/4HANA, SuccessFactors, Analytics Cloud, MII (Manufacturing Integration), EWM (Extended Warehouse Management), IBP (Integrated Business Planning), and Global Trade Services. Microsoft Office, Cisco, and VMware support the broader infrastructure.
Current projects include SAP system modernization (S/4HANA release planning, Analytics Cloud and AFO reporting), HR process digitalization, ISO 27001 compliance, EDR/NDR/SIEM upgrades, and logistics-profitability optimization across inventory and transport coordination.
