Food manufacturing and processing across Europe with SAP-centric operations
OSI Europe operates a multi-site food production and distribution network across 8 countries with 3,000+ employees. The stack is heavily SAP-dependent (PM, S/4HANA, now adopting SAP IBP for supply-chain planning), supported by enterprise ERP (Oracle, Dynamics 365) and manufacturing-floor controls (PLCs, AutoCAD). The active SAP IBP adoption paired with pain points around cross-site planning synchronization and volume transfers between EU plants suggests the company is moving toward integrated demand and supply planning — a typical signal of scaling manufacturing complexity beyond what disconnected regional systems can handle.
Notable leadership hires: Electrical Team Lead, Master Data Lead
OSI Europe manufactures and distributes food products for food service and retail customers across 21 locations in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Hungary, employing over 3,000 people. The company is part of the OSI Group, a privately held international food production conglomerate operating 65+ facilities across 17+ countries. Production spans procurement through processing and distribution, all managed under quality and sustainability standards. Current hiring is concentrated in manufacturing roles, with notable openings for electrical and master data leadership positions.
SAP S/4HANA is the primary ERP platform, supported by SAP PM for plant maintenance. The company is actively implementing SAP IBP (Integrated Business Planning) to improve cross-site planning and supply-chain visibility.
Key pain points include synchronizing planning across multiple sites, detecting deviations from forecasts, managing volume transfers between EU plants, and reducing production downtime — all typical of multi-site manufacturing networks.
