Meat casing and protein packaging manufacturer across 9 global facilities
Viskase is a century-old packaging manufacturer for the global meat industry, operating 9 production facilities across 24 time zones and supplying over 120 countries. The tech stack is operationally focused—SAP, Maximo, AutoCAD, and Allen-Bradley controllers—reflecting a capital-intensive manufacturing footprint. Active projects center on equipment upgrades, predictive maintenance, and reliability-centered maintenance strategies, paired with documented pain around unplanned downtime and cost control, suggesting the company is investing in operational hardening rather than digital transformation.

The company serves meat processors globally, with a product suite that includes printed and flavor-transfer casings alongside traditional casing types. Operations span 9 manufacturing facilities producing continuously across multiple time zones, with customer reach into over 120 countries. The public company employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people and is headquartered in Lombard, Illinois.
