Industrial engineering and software consulting for manufacturing and aerospace
SALT AND PEPPER is a German industrial consulting firm with three distinct divisions: technology consulting (on-site engineering services), management consulting (process optimization), and software solutions (custom development plus proprietary products). The hiring mix is heavily skewed toward mid-level engineers (81 of 124 active roles), with minimal recent hiring velocity, suggesting a mature, project-staffed model rather than rapid scaling. Their tech stack spans legacy industrial tools (DATEV, Excel, Office) alongside modern languages (Java, C++, Python, JavaScript), consistent with their position as a modernization partner for manufacturing clients.
SALT AND PEPPER serves industrial companies across automotive, mechanical engineering, energy, and aerospace sectors throughout Germany. The firm operates from Bremen with over 600 employees and three operational divisions: Technology Consulting delivers embedded and software engineering services; Management Consulting optimizes manufacturing processes and supply-chain operations; Software Solutions develops custom applications and proprietary products through an internal skills center. Current client challenges cluster around production efficiency (downtime reduction, bottleneck avoidance, process optimization) and cost management (procurement, quality assurance, supplier coordination). The company was founded in 2008 and remains self-owned.
