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.
