Industrial machinery and bulk material handling systems for mining and process industries
KOCH Solutions is a 75-year-old machinery manufacturer in Saarland focused on material handling and bulk logistics systems for mining and heavy industry. Active hiring in engineering and finance reflects parallel scaling: engineering teams are working on automation standardization and condition monitoring, while finance is driving digital transformation through invoice automation and group accounting standardization. The tech stack is dominated by CAD/simulation tools (SolidWorks, Creo, RFEM, IDEA StatiCa) and enterprise systems (SAP, Epicor), typical of capital-equipment manufacturers, with no visible cloud or modern data-stack adoption — a gap common when legacy process optimization is underway.
Notable leadership hires: Head of Construction, Head of Automation
