Pharma manufacturing, distribution, and logistics across human and veterinary markets
Richter Pharma operates across the full pharma value chain—GMP-certified manufacturing, wholesale distribution (market leader in Austrian veterinary pharmaceuticals), and third-party logistics services. The company is mid-stage through a major SAP S/4HANA migration, currently optimizing SD and WM modules while addressing cross-functional logistics process integration; this infrastructure overhaul signals a pivot from legacy R/3 toward real-time supply-chain visibility and order management. Hiring velocity is accelerating with mid-level engineering and logistics roles, indicating hands-on execution focus rather than leadership scaling.
