Company Profile
Under a mutual NDA, the client's name and brand are withheld; only industry, region, scale and outcomes are shared. The group is expanding internationally (including a 2019 acquisition in Spain), and **its Asia & China branches were delivered by MTC on SAP Business One**.
This is a long-established Italian maker of respiratory and safety protection equipment with a strong international reputation. Products span respiratory protection, filtering and insulating equipment, hearing protection, technical spectacles and visors. As the group expanded abroad, its old local ERP couldn't fit overseas entities and markets, while commerce, production and logistics ran on separate systems; it needed one international platform to manage everything with standard processes and minimal customization.
The group chose SAP Business One: scalable, modular and built for a growing mid-sized business, exchanging data in real time across subsidiaries. With a globally networked implementation partner and a single point of contact, it ran multi-country projects consistently. After go-live, logistics were greatly simplified on one database for all applications, resources focused on value-add, management became transparent and immediate, and the group built a 'plug-and-play' base for future acquisitions.
