Novolex Tech Stack

Food and beverage packaging manufacturer with North American and European operations

Packaging and Containers Manufacturing Charlotte, North Carolina 10,001+ employees Privately Held

Novolex manufactures food service, retail, and industrial packaging across North America and Europe with 20,000+ employees. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward operational systems (SAP, Blue Yonder TMS, PLCs, industrial controls from Allen-Bradley and Siemens) rather than software innovation—reflecting a capital-intensive manufacturing business. Active hiring spans 604 roles with manufacturing dominating (421 positions), but the adopting stack (Power BI, OneStream, Dynamics 365, Hyperion) signals a push toward financial planning and supply chain visibility. Pain points cluster around equipment reliability, downtime, and quality consistency, matching the project focus on extrusion process improvement, automation, and EHS compliance.
