Consumer packaged goods manufacturer scaling lean operations and product innovation
Reynolds Consumer Products operates a manufacturing-heavy organization (101 active roles in manufacturing vs. 17 in engineering) focused on operational efficiency and safety compliance. The tech stack reveals a traditional industrial footprint—SAP, Rockwell Automation, Allen-Bradley, Siemens PLCs—complemented by cloud adoption (Azure, AWS, GCP) and business intelligence (Power BI, SAP BW). Active hiring in continuous improvement and the project list (lean manufacturing, equipment layout, new product scale-up) signal a push toward operational optimization, while pain points cluster around downtime reduction, safety compliance, and forecast accuracy.
Notable leadership hires: Continuous Improvement Director, Team Lead, Marketing Director, Marketing Innovation Director, Finance Director
