Boiling water tap manufacturer scaling production and digital infrastructure globally
Quooker manufactures instant boiling water taps sold across millions of kitchens worldwide. The company is mid-stage in a digital transformation: migrating IT infrastructure (Azure migration visible across data, analytics, and DevOps tooling), building out enterprise data governance, and launching e-commerce and smart marketing platforms. Engineering and operations hiring is steady, with active work on product lifecycle processes and supply-chain stabilization—typical of a capital-intensive manufacturer scaling beyond founder-led operations.
Founded in 1970, Quooker designs and manufactures instant boiling, filtered, chilled, and sparkling water taps. The product is sold direct and through dealer networks across international markets. The company operates from headquarters in Ridderkerk, Netherlands, with over 1,000 employees distributed across R&D, manufacturing, sales, service, and marketing functions globally. Quooker owns the full value chain—product design, manufacturing, and distribution—and manages its own go-to-market in local regions. Current operational priorities include production-line scaling, supply-chain stabilization, and modernization of internal IT systems and reporting infrastructure.
Quooker runs on Azure cloud (Data Factory, Synapse, Data Lake, Fabric), uses Power BI and Python for analytics, Java/Scala for backend systems, and Beckhoff/Structured Text for manufacturing control. Desktop productivity and creative work runs on Microsoft 365, Adobe Suite, and Windows Server.
Active projects include e-commerce platform development, enterprise data model implementation, smart marketing tooling, supply-chain improvements, and IT application landscape renewal—signals of digital modernization and direct-to-consumer expansion.
