Packaging machinery manufacturer with global installed base and service network
Serac designs and builds filling, capping, and blow-molding machines for food and consumer-product manufacturers. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward industrial control (Allen-Bradley PLC, Siemens, Rockwell Automation, SCADA) and design tools (SolidWorks, AutoCAD), with recent adoption of Dynamics 365 and cloud collaboration (Microsoft 365, Teams) — typical of a legacy machinery maker modernizing back-office operations. Engineering hiring dominates (36 of 66 open roles) and sits at mid-to-senior level, while pain points around reporting performance, equipment reliability, and data structuring suggest internal scaling strain as the business expands field operations globally.
