Catalyst manufacturer serving petrochemical refiners across 25 global markets
Ketjen manufactures catalysts for fluid catalytic cracking, clean fuels, and hydro-processing in petrochemical and refining operations. The tech stack reveals an operations-first organization: SAP dominates (ERP + transportation), paired with Workday (HR systems), Salesforce, and LIMS for lab workflows. Active projects center on SAP-Salesforce integration and cloud-API adoption—a clear signal that legacy on-premise infrastructure is a constraint. Pain points around forecast accuracy, regional compliance fragmentation, and system architecture inefficiencies map directly to the modernization roadmap.
