Global Agro-Industrial Organization and Processor
A global agro-industrial processor and food ingredients provider operating plants and supply chains across the U.S., Europe, and worldwide.
The company manages agricultural processing and food ingredient operations at global scale. Legacy JD Edwards Xe was heavily customized, costly to maintain, and hindered integrations, making acquisitions slow and risky. Standardization was essential for sustainable growth and operational resilience.
