Pelican Products reduces operational risk with sustainability solutions from SAP
A quickly growing company, Pelican Products, Inc., is a leading manufacturer of professional lighting cases systems. Its products are used by professionals in the most demanding markets, including firefighters, police, defense and military, aerospace, entertainment, industrial and consumer. Pelican views safety as essential to continued profitability and growth. But the manufacturing processes involved in making its products involve heavy machinery that can create potential hazards. The company is adopting operational risk management solutions from SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) in an effort drive a consistent safety culture across the organization, and enable participation and clear communication among relevant stakeholders.
More than doubling its revenue since 2007, Pelican has been expanding rapidly both organically and through acquisitions. Three years ago, Pelican made a major acquisition of its long-time competitor, Hardigg Industries, and needed a way to unify the two safety cultures together into one approach that allowed for better operational risk management. Like many manufacturers, Pelican used manual, departmental and home-grown systems to comply with environmental, health and safety (EHS) regulations and ensure the safety of its employees.
