“We consider ourselves to be a medium-sized company with tradition, following a course of innovation with a focus on modern technology“, replies Hans-Jürgen Dittmann, manager of controlling at Staatl. Mineralbrunnen AG, to the question how the beverage company is planning to position itself in the future. The company not only sells three different mineral waters but also other high-quality beverages like apple juice with soda, fruity lemonades and special spa waters. Bottling is split into 85 percent mineral water and 15 percent sweet beverages. In 2008, Staatl. Mineralbrunnen AG generated a turnover of 14.4 million euros.

Modern machinery and innovative information technology characterize the processes at the beverage company. Since 2005, the company has been using the industry-specific business IT solution by CSB-System AG, a German company with exceptional expertise in the beverage industry which was the best at meeting all requirements.

“The CSB-System is an integrated turnkey solution covering the areas of sales, financial accounting, enterprise resource planning with purchase and inventory management, batching, traceability and picking. It also provides connection to all associated companies. This integration offers important competitive advantages and creates the basis for our market position”, explains Hans-Jürgen Dittmann.

At Bad Brückenau, the entire loading zone and storage area is covered with a WLAN network with seven access points. Project planning for this was carried out hand in hand with CSB-System AG.
