Grupa Powen-Wafapomp SA, Poland’s largest producer of industrial pumps, has implemented IFS Applications to support its project-based manufacturing processes, enable standardisation of order fulfilment and streamlined assets management.

In December, 2009, Grupa Powen-Wafapomp SA signed an agreement for the purchase and implementation of IFS Applications at both production plants.

The ERP system supports project-based manufacturing processes, enables controlling features and secures continuous optimisation of business processes within the company.
“We have chosen IFS Applications because of its agility and functionality which met the needs of our company.

“We are proud that our solution meets the diversified needs of companies specialising in mixed manufacturing, including projects delivered to order and with multi-location operations,” said Marcin Taranek, President of IFS CEE.
