Case Study: Albéa achieves centralized procurement visibility and $1B spend control with SAP Ariba

Albéa Packing a Procurement Punch with SAP Ariba Solutions

Albéa, a Gennevilliers, France–based leader in beauty and personal care packaging with 16,000 employees and $1.6B revenue, struggled to control procurement after growth through acquisitions left it running 17 ERP systems across 42 sites, making spend visibility, supplier management, and compliance difficult.

By consolidating procurement on SAP Ariba, Albéa gained company-wide spend visibility and centralized supplier management, routing about $1 billion in annual spend through the platform. A seven-month deployment of Ariba sourcing and spend-analysis tools enabled 540 sourcing events, faster reporting, tighter negotiation and compliance, and a mandate for centralized procurement—with plans to extend to buying and invoicing and to onboard future acquisitions.
