Building materials manufacturer scaling ERP and engineering reliability
Unilin Insulation manufactures thermal insulation products across the UK and Ireland as part of a 105-location global group. The company is mid-migration to SAP S/4HANA while hiring across engineering and manufacturing—a pattern typical of manufacturers modernizing legacy systems while addressing equipment reliability and project delivery gaps. Repeat downtime and fault-finding complexity appear on both the pain-point and active-project lists, suggesting operational constraints that ERP and engineering investment are aimed at resolving.
