LIXIL operates a sprawling manufacturing and distribution network across 150+ countries, with 53,000 employees producing water systems, sanitary ware, and building materials under legacy brands including GROHE and American Standard. The tech stack—anchored on SAP (QM, MM, Commerce Cloud) with AWS for modern workloads—and current migration to SAP HANA and S/4HANA signal an enterprise modernization effort. Hiring velocity is accelerating across sales (98 open roles), engineering (59), and manufacturing (46), with active projects spanning SAP SD/MM implementation, capacity planning, and SKU extensions, while pain points cluster around procurement friction and waste reduction—typical for a diversified manufacturing conglomerate consolidating legacy systems.

LIXIL manufactures and distributes plumbing fixtures, sanitary ware, kitchen systems, and building materials globally. The company was formed in 2011 through a merger of five Japanese building materials companies and has since expanded internationally through acquisitions of major brands. Products span bathroom and kitchen fixtures, interior/exterior materials, and water systems, reaching over a billion people daily across residential and commercial segments. The organization operates in more than 150 countries with manufacturing, sales, and logistics operations in major markets including the US, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. LIXIL combines product design, supply chain management, and digital transformation to serve builders, retailers, and end consumers.
LIXIL uses SAP as its core ERP platform (SAP QM, SAP MM, SAP Commerce Cloud) and is currently migrating to SAP HANA and SAP S/4HANA to modernize its enterprise systems.
LIXIL's development stack includes C#, .NET, ASP.NET Core, TypeScript, SQL, AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway), and CAD tools (Rhino, Artios CAD, KeyShot) for design and manufacturing workflows.
