Visy operates a vertically integrated packaging business spanning manufacturing, recycling, remanufacturing, and logistics across 150+ global sites—predominantly Australia and New Zealand. The tech stack is heavily SAP-centric (FI/CO, SD, MM, PS, ECC, Fiori) with Microsoft enterprise tools, indicating deep process standardization across a complex supply chain. Active hiring across ops, engineering, and manufacturing (roughly equal) paired with projects around machinery commissioning, technical uplift, and sustainability suggests operational scaling and modernization, though pain points cluster around plant reliability, maintenance costs, and equipment downtime—suggesting the manufacturing footprint still carries legacy friction.
