Roquette Installs OMP Planner to Optimize Factories Worldwide
Starch derivatives company integrates planning system from OM Partners into its existing enterprise technology platform for use in S&OP process
Wommelgem, Belgium — December 3, 2007 — Starch derivatives producer Roquette is integrating a planning system from OM Partners into its existing enterprise technology platform for use in the company's sales and operations planning process, the solution provider has announced.
One of the world's leading producers of starch derivatives and the largest producer of polyols in the world, Roquette has chosen to integrate OM Partners' OMP Planner planning module into its mainly SAP-based information systems.
All Roquette factories worldwide — including 12 production sites in Europe, the United States and Asia — will be planned in an integrated way, aiming at optimal sourcing, production optimization and logistics optimization.
Francis Evrard, IT manager at Roquettem said, "We have been working with OM Partners for almost 10 years, and the stability and professionalism of the OM Partners' team, the ease of upgrading to the latest OMP version and their important experience in our business were important factors in the decision."
Luc Schepens, a partner at OM Partners, said that this latest deal reinforced OM Partners' position for planning and scheduling products with co- and byproducts in the chemical and starch industries.
Founded in 1933, Roquette is a private, family-owned business specializing in starch and starch derivatives. The company's consolidated turnover is close to 2 billion euros ($2.9 billion), and it employs 6,000 people and provides customers in more than 100 countries with over 650 products.
OM Partners was founded in 1985 and has its headquarters in Belgium, with branches in France, Germany, the Netherlands, the U.K. and the U.S.
