Global transit packaging manufacturer with warehouse automation and strapping systems
Signode is a century-old packaging equipment and consumables manufacturer operating 80+ facilities across six continents, now executing a significant data and systems modernization. Active projects reveal a company in transition: harmonizing fragmented product specs, migrating to centralized data repositories, and managing ERP lifecycle changes — while pain points center on SOX compliance, equipment uptime, and legacy system maintenance. The hiring acceleration (44 roles posted in 30 days, engineering-focused) indicates infrastructure and automation scaling are execution priorities.
Signode manufactures transit packaging solutions—including plastic and steel strapping, stretch wrapping, hooding, and warehouse automation—for dozens of industry verticals. Operating under Crown Holdings, the company serves global supply chains through a network of manufacturing facilities and automation service lines. The product portfolio spans equipment, consumables, robotics, and protective packaging systems. Geographic hiring span (10 countries across North America and Europe) reflects their distributed manufacturing footprint and warehouse automation expansion, particularly the Storfast warehouse solution.
Signode runs on Microsoft Dynamics 365 (Supply Chain and Finance modules), SQL Server, Azure, and Power BI for analytics. Engineering tooling includes AutoCAD, PLC controllers, and X++ customization. Active Directory and Windows Server form the core infrastructure.
Major initiatives include global automation line sales expansion, product specification harmonization across brands, ERP lifecycle management, warehouse automation (Storfast), and infrastructure scalability to support uptime and compliance (SOX).
