Pacur, an ISO 9001-certified sheet extruder serving medical, food, and electronics packaging markets, implemented Plex cloud MES to digitize quality management, scheduling, and real-time inventory. The project eliminated information silos, replaced manual quality checks with digital checksheets, and enabled rapid onboarding. Results include faster accounts receivable, reduced compliance costs, and data-driven decisions on capital spend and market exit. The system also supported a subsequent acquisition by providing consistent metrics across sites.
