Headquartered in Norway, Jotun develops, produces and sells cost-effective paint and coatings products, and provides customer service and technical support to residential, marine and industrial markets worldwide. One of the world’s major manufacturers of paints, coatings and powder coatings, the Jotun Group has over 5,000 employees in 39 production facilities on all continents.
Jotun had run a tailor-made ERP system for more than 20 years, during which time the company grew from being a small Scandinavian operation to becoming an international corporation. In 2002, Jotun began the process of standardizing its business software. One of the most important criteria was that users would get secure ease of access to the information they required—whenever and wherever they required it. The choice of ERP system would also make IT and its use a strategic tool for Jotun.
IFS was chosen because it met all of Jotun’s requirements including presence in Scandinavia and the ability to support Jotun’s global operations.
