Polish corrugated packaging manufacturer with 1,600+ employees across three plants
Werner Kenkel is a family-owned corrugated box and point-of-sale materials producer operating three automated facilities in Poland since 1979. Their tech stack is heavily SQL Server–dependent (SQL Server, SSAS, SSIS, Profiler), with active migration and version-upgrade projects underway — a typical pattern for manufacturers modernizing legacy production-line data infrastructure while managing 24/7 uptime requirements.
Werner Kenkel manufactures corrugated cardboard packaging, printed boxes, and POS displays (stands, dispensers) for over 1,000 domestic and international customers. The group operates three modern facilities in Krzycko Wielkie (Greater Poland Voivodeship) and Bochnia (near Kraków), employing over 1,600 staff. They produce all standard flexographic, offset, and digital-printed box formats. Core operational systems run on SQL Server with custom ETL and business intelligence (SSAS, Crystal Reports), supported by Windows Server, Citrix, and VMware infrastructure.
SQL Server (database + SSIS ETL + SSAS analytics), SQL Server Profiler, Crystal Reports, PowerShell, Windows Server, VMware, Citrix, and Microsoft Office. Primary footprint is Microsoft data and infrastructure.
