European pharma manufacturer scaling B2B operations and GxP compliance infrastructure
Reig Jofre is a 95-year-old Spanish pharmaceutical manufacturer operating four production centers and distributing to over 70 countries. The tech stack reveals a company mid-modernization: on-premises infrastructure (NetApp, VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix) paired with cloud adoption (AWS, Azure, GCP), legacy ERP (Dynamics NAV, SAP) undergoing active migration, and analytical tools (Power BI, HPLC, UPLC) tied to regulated manufacturing workflows. Hiring has decelerated sharply (2 roles in 30 days), concentrated in manufacturing and engineering—consistent with their project focus on contamination control, aseptic simulations, and lab digitalization rather than headcount growth.
Reig Jofre develops and manufactures pharmaceutical solutions for European and international markets, operating its own brands alongside contract manufacturing for third parties. The company runs four development and production centers, eight commercial offices, and serves over 70 countries. As a publicly traded company on the Spanish Stock Exchange (RJF), operations are subject to GxP (Good Manufacturing Practice) and regulatory compliance demands, reflected in active projects around contamination control, aseptic process validation, and laboratory digitalization. Current initiatives include a B2B transformation program and migration from Navision to SAP—both multi-year technical and organizational undertakings.
