Refresco Tech Stack

Global beverage manufacturer operating 40M+ liters daily across three continents

Food and Beverage Services Rotterdam 10,001+ employees Founded 1999 Privately Held

Refresco is a large-scale beverage production operation—40+ million liters daily—built on legacy manufacturing infrastructure (SAP, PLC automation, AS/400) with a heavy mid-level workforce across manufacturing and operations. The hiring focus skews hard toward production roles (manufacturing 264, ops 85), and active projects cluster around equipment upgrades, yield optimization, and compliance systems, suggesting the company is systematizing processes that historically ran on operational expertise rather than software-driven automation.
