Global artificial casings manufacturer for meat and vegetable processing
Viscofan is a Spain-headquartered casing manufacturer operating production sites across nine countries and distributing to over 100 nations. The tech stack is Microsoft-first (SAP, Power BI, Power Platform, RPA via Blue Prism and UiPath) with minimal cloud-native adoption, reflecting a manufacturing-led organization focused on operational stability. Active projects cluster around environmental compliance, hazardous-materials governance, and treasury digitalization—priorities that align with a heavily regulated global supply chain and suggest ongoing pressure to harmonize compliance and data across geographically dispersed manufacturing sites.
Viscofan manufactures artificial casings (cellulose, collagen, fibrous, and plastic) for meat and vegetable processing industries. The company operates production facilities in Spain, Germany, Brazil, the United States, Czech Republic, Mexico, Serbia, and China, with a separate vegetables business under the IAN Group label in Spain. Distribution reaches over 100 countries via 14 global sales offices. The organization is privately held, founded in 1975, and employs 1,001–5,000 people. Operations and finance dominate the current hiring mix, with smaller engineering presence, indicating a focus on process optimization and compliance infrastructure rather than product innovation.
Viscofan uses SAP for ERP, Power BI and Excel for reporting, Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate) for digital workflows, and robotic process automation via Blue Prism and UiPath. Core infrastructure runs on Microsoft 365 and Azure.
