Palm Group is a 150+ year old German paper and packaging manufacturer with a production footprint spanning 5 paper mills and 26 corrugated board plants across Europe. The tech stack is dominated by SAP (S/4HANA, MM, FI, CO, SD, SuccessFactors) paired with industrial automation (Siemens S7, IBM Maximo), storage (NetApp, Pure Storage), and visualization (Power BI) — a classical enterprise manufacturing architecture. Active projects reveal a company in the midst of operational consolidation: ERP standardization, HR system modernization, and process unification across plants, coupled with digital fleet operations and supplier development initiatives.
