Global diversified manufacturer of ladders, fall protection, and jobsite storage equipment
ProDriven Global Brands operates a 5,000+ person manufacturing portfolio across four continents, serving industrial, construction, and automotive professionals. The tech stack reveals a hybrid operational model: JD Edwards + SAP for core ERP, Salesforce for CRM, Snowflake for analytics, and newly adopted Azure DevOps for IT modernization. Active projects center on WMS enhancements, robotics/automation, and cost reduction tied to quality defects—signaling a push to standardize supply-chain systems and shift from high-touch operations to automated workflows across legacy acquired brands.
ProDriven Global Brands manufactures and distributes ladders, fall protection equipment, secure storage solutions, and construction tools under ten global brand names (WERNER, WEATHER GUARD, KNAACK, Zarges, Bailey, and others). The company serves industrial and construction professionals in North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia-Pacific through a network of manufacturing facilities and distribution channels. The portfolio was assembled through acquisitions since 2007 and includes jobsite storage (KNAACK, WEATHER GUARD, BETTER BUILT), fall protection and climbing equipment, truck/van accessories, and light-duty construction equipment like wheelbarrows and concrete mixers. With headquarters in Illinois and operations on four continents, the company manages a complex multi-brand, multi-region supply chain and is actively scaling operations via automation and systems integration.
