Warehouse automation and metal racking manufacturer with global distribution
Mecalux designs and manufactures automated storage systems and metal racking across 11 production centers spanning North America, Europe, South America, and Mexico. The tech stack reveals a dual-track operation: industrial automation (Siemens PLC, ROS, SCADA, HMI) driving the robotic warehouse division, paired with enterprise backend (SAP ERP, HANA, ABAP) managing supply-chain logistics. Active migration to SAP S/4HANA signals a modernization of core operational systems; simultaneously, high employee turnover and a heavy ops/engineering hiring mix (83 of 138 roles) point to scaling production capacity and execution speed.

The company operates 11 strategically located production and assembly centers, with the U.S. business unit operating as Interlake Mecalux.
