REHAU Group

REHAU is a leading developer, manufacturer, and supplier of innovative polymer-based solutions for the global construction, automotive, and industry sectors. With approximately 15,000 employees in more than 170 locations worldwide, coordinating business processes throughout the organization’s highly specialized and decentralized sales, production, and logistics operations requires innovation of another kind: application-to-application (A2A) managed file transfer. Rehau relies on Axway Transfer to manage its complex internal data exchange requirements, which include automating transfers between disparate, distributed systems, ensuring security and high availability globally, and supporting Just-in-Time (JIT) / Just-in-Sequence (JIS) processing for its automobile OEM customers. Thanks to Axway Transfer CFT, on average 3,400 host files, 3,500 files from PCs, 1,700 Linux files, and 5,000 files from the IBM AS/400 servers are automatically exchanged and transformed every day. “We use it for 100 percent of internal data exchange, and the entire system can be administered by just a few people because so many processes are flawlessly automated. There is simply no comparison between our Axway Transfer CFT solution and the file transfer methods of the past.”, explains Thomas Schott IT-Manager REHAU Group.
