Global alloy wheel manufacturer for OEM and aftermarket automotive
RONAL operates a vertically integrated wheel manufacturing business spanning 13 plants across three continents, producing 19+ million units annually. The tech stack reveals a dual-infrastructure posture: SAP-centric ERP (FI/CO, MM, Analytics Cloud) paired with industrial automation (FANUC, KUKA, Simatic controllers), now consolidating identity and endpoint security across hybrid IT/OT environments via Azure, Intune, and Conditional Access. Active hiring in security and engineering, combined with projects targeting TISAX/GDPR alignment and manufacturing-IT standardization, signals a shift toward unified governance across production sites.
