North American tissue manufacturer scaling manufacturing operations and maintenance systems
Kruger Products manufactures leading tissue brands across North America from a base in Mississauga. The stack reveals a manufacturing-first operation: SAP, JD Edwards, and CMMS for supply-chain and asset management, paired with newer adopts of MES and ERP systems. Active hiring across manufacturing (5 roles) and engineering (3 roles) alongside a project roadmap centered on MES customization, plant CMMS implementation, and equipment availability — suggests a shift toward predictive maintenance and operational visibility to address recurring pain points around unplanned downtime and spare-part optimization.
Kruger Products manufactures tissue and away-from-home paper products under brands including Cashmere, Purex, Scotties, and SpongeTowels, serving retail and commercial channels across North America. The company operates manufacturing plants and a sales organization, with 1,001–5,000 employees based primarily in Canada and expanding hiring in Finland. Current operational focus spans plant maintenance systems (CMMS), manufacturing execution (MES), and sales optimization through merchandising and in-store display strategies. The technology footprint — SAP, JD Edwards, Power BI, and custom Python/Django work — reflects a hybrid ERP environment supporting both supply-chain complexity and emerging digital use cases.
