The hiring profile—49 manufacturing, 46 engineering, but only 13 sales roles—reflects a capital-heavy, production-first business model. Active projects center on ultrasonic welding optimization, die-casting expansion, and production automation, while pain points cluster around HR digitalization and process optimization, suggesting organizational scaling outpaces their IT infrastructure.
