THE CUSTOMER
Quaker Houghton is a global leader in industrial process fluids. With a robust presence around the world, including operations in over 25 countries, their customers include thousands of the world’s most advanced and specialized steel, aluminum, automotive, aerospace, offshore, can, mining, and metalworking companies.
In August 2019, Quaker Chemical Corporation and Houghton International joined forces and became one organization: Quaker Houghton. As a result of this combination, the company became twice its size from one day to the next. Naturally, this had a great impact on the business’s operations. It was decided that Houghton’s JD Edwards instance had to be merged into Quaker’s instance. This so-called ‘Integrations Project’ entailed the integration and roll-out of JD Edwards 9.1 over all 25 sites worldwide.
