Wholesale Building Materials Chicago, Illinois 1,001–5,000 employees Privately Held

Zekelman Industries is a 1,001–5,000-person steel pipe and tube manufacturer operating seven branded subsidiaries across structural and application-specific products. The tech stack reveals a traditional heavy-manufacturing footprint—SAP ERP, Rockwell Automation PLCs, Oracle, and Workday—now being modernized: they're actively adopting AVEVA MES, SCADA, and SQL, paired with concurrent projects to build continuous integration and test-driven development environments and design SQL databases. Manufacturing dominates the hiring mix, but the adoption of MES and historian applications alongside preventive maintenance and KPI frameworks signals a shift toward data-driven operations and equipment uptime optimization.
