Global manufacturing of bedding, furniture, and automotive components
Leggett & Platt is a 140+ year-old public manufacturer operating across bedding, furniture, seating, aerospace, and automotive sectors with 10,000+ employees worldwide. The tech stack reflects classic industrial operations—SAP, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, PLCs, and CNC tools dominate—but the company is actively adopting Microsoft Fabric, signaling a shift toward modern data integration. Hiring skews heavily manufacturing and operations (88 of 163 open roles), with accelerating velocity across mid-level production and quality roles, while pain points cluster around waste reduction, quality control, and equipment diagnostics.
