Global aroma chemicals and essential oils distributor with in-house production
Ernesto Ventós is a century-old chemical distributor and producer moving toward operational modernization. The hiring mix—operations and manufacturing roles dominating, with mid-level seniority skewing toward mid-career fills—combined with active projects in Business Central migration and analytical method development, signals a shift from legacy ERP (Dynamics NAV) toward cloud infrastructure and process automation. The adoption of WMS and concurrent focus on facility efficiency and biocatalytic optimization suggest the company is consolidating production oversight as it scales globally.
