Industrial metal forming manufacturer with global production and SAP-driven digital transformation
Winkelmann Group is a family-owned metal forming company with 4,400+ employees across six countries and 31 sales locations. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward SAP (S/4HANA, Fiori, UI5, SuccessFactors, Integration Suite, BTP) paired with embedded systems tooling (TIA Portal, TwinCAT, KUKA, Qt, Flutter) — a pattern typical of manufacturing-scale enterprises migrating core ERP infrastructure. Active projects confirm active migration: data transition to S/4HANA, Fiori application rollout, and HMI development for industrial touch interfaces signal a modernization cycle across operations and user experience.
