Heavy equipment manufacturer scaling digital transformation and global operations
MANITOU Group manufactures material-handling and telehandler equipment across a 5,000+ person operation headquartered in France. The tech stack—SAP, Salesforce, Power BI, Azure, NX, Teamcenter—reflects a traditional industrial manufacturer modernizing core systems; the finance transformation roadmap and production-site tool deployments signal active infrastructure overhaul. Hiring velocity is accelerating across engineering, manufacturing, and logistics, with a notably high intern-to-mid ratio (77 interns / 41 mid-level), suggesting either aggressive early-career pipeline building or high junior-level churn risk.
Notable leadership hires: IT Director, SSP Lead
