Lab instruments and bioprocess manufacturing solutions for biopharma R&D and production
Sartorius operates across two product lines—laboratory instruments for drug discovery and quality control, plus single-use bioprocess systems for manufacturing vaccines and cell/gene therapies. The tech stack reflects a manufacturing-heavy enterprise: SAP (S/4HANA, HANA, BW, PS, Business One) anchors financial and supply-chain operations, while specialized systems (SCADA, MES, DCS, PLM) govern production floors. Currently adopting WMS and SOLIDWORKS signals expansion of warehouse automation and design tooling. The hiring mix skews engineering (94 roles) and sales (87), with a notable push on inventory planning and channel strategy, indicating scaling of both product development and go-to-market coverage.
Notable leadership hires: Validation Lead, Head of Sales, Head of Business Development, Business Unit Head, Supply Chain Lead
