Gulbrandsen Companies Gets the Formula Right with SAP

Gulbrandsen Companies, a leading manufacturer and service provider of industrial chemicals, has selected solutions from SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) to support its specific industry requirements, future growth plans and operational needs. As a growing player in a competitive industry, the company needed a single global reliable business solution and decided to replace its current multiple ERP systems Ramco, Tally ERP and Chempax C/S with SAP. In partnership with SpectraSoft Technologies, Gulbrandsen will implement SAP ERP ECC 6.0 solution by Jan 2012

Headed by Eric Smith President-GCI, Raymond Jankowski Corporate Controller and Shashikumar S S Head of ERP&EDP, teams Gulbrandsen underwent a rigorous 6 month evaluation process before selecting SAP, amongst other ERP vendors like Oracle, Microsoft AX and Deacom.

Gulbrandsen, one of the trusted names in the manufacturing of chemical intermediates, fine chemicals and catalysts used in the process industry, is a $150+ million organization spearheaded by Mr. Donald Gulbrandsen CEO. The company offers a unique portfolio of products, services and solutions including chemical manufacturing products like water treatment goods, intermediates, personal care products and electronic etchants.

In order to support its need to synchronize the demand and supply complexities in the system and cater to its strategic as well as operational requirements, the company chose SAP’s solution combined with proven domain expertise to deliver better response time, increased user satisfaction, productivity, and reduced cost of ownership. This will be a multi country rollout from India through Gulbrandsen’s US headquarters.
