Case Study: RENOLIT (global plastic films manufacturer) achieves centralized ERP consolidation and streamlined production with QAD

Benefit from Utilizing the Best ERP System Based on Production Needs

RENOLIT is a 70-year‑old, family‑owned global manufacturer of high‑quality plastic films with about 4,500 employees, more than 30 production and sales sites on four continents, and nearly €1B in annual revenue. As the company grew through acquisitions (including Solvay’s industrial films division and a new China site) it faced widely varied manufacturing processes and had to decide whether to standardize on a single ERP or adopt a multi‑ERP approach while maintaining a central IT infrastructure.

RENOLIT adopted a targeted IT strategy that uses QAD ERP where it best fits, alongside their other ERP, and a central information management system to consolidate data. Centralized support, regular bi‑annual QAD upgrades, and consolidating acquired QAD sites have improved production efficiency, data quality and international rollout capability, reduced customization needs and support overhead, and positioned RENOLIT to integrate future acquisitions more smoothly.
