Industrial gases, refrigeration, and mobility services across Central Europe
Westfalen AG operates a sprawling industrial gases and energy business across 20+ production sites in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland, and Austria. The tech stack is heavily enterprise-focused (SAP ECC/S/4HANA, Salesforce, Power BI, Azure), with active migration to S/4HANA still underway—a multi-year transformation signal. Hiring concentration in logistics (17 roles) and sales (13 roles) reflects the capital-intensive, distribution-driven nature of gas supply, while the pain-point list (inventory management, route optimization, payroll coordination) reveals friction in integrating a federated network of subsidiary operations.
Notable leadership hires: Head of Accounting & Controlling, Electrical Services Lead, Customer Service Lead
