Case Study: igus achieves faster global product localization and eCommerce growth with Akeneo

Igus has been awarded the 2025 PXM Champion Global Award for its outstanding achievements in streamlining global product data management and localization

igus, a global leader in motion plastics, faced major product data challenges including data silos, translation bottlenecks, and limited autonomy for regional teams as it expanded across markets. To address this, igus chose Akeneo Product Cloud/Akeneo PIM to centralize product information and improve global localization.

Akeneo implemented integrations across CMS, DAM, ETL, and ERP systems, plus 44 locales, a translation app, rules-based automation, and flexible user permissions. As a result, igus doubled translation speed, reduced manual work, improved catalog completeness, and increased eCommerce revenue by several million dollars while giving regional teams more independence and faster response to local needs.
