Premium specialty cheese manufacturer modernizing production and supply chain
Sartori operates a 500+ person cheese production facility with a Microsoft/JD Edwards enterprise stack anchored in legacy ERP, now pursuing smart factory systems and cloud integrations. The hiring surge is heavily weighted toward manufacturing roles (36 of 52 active openings), with notable projects in equipment implementation, yield optimization, and a master facilities library—indicating capital-intensive modernization of production workflows. Pain points cluster around waste reduction, yield, and maintenance costs, suggesting operational efficiency is the priority over product innovation.
