Who They Are
Toray Group is a diversified chemical conglomerate with production facilities in 26 countries and regions worldwide. Fibers, textiles, and plastics form the foundation of its business. Toray's nonwoven business is a leading nonwoven fabric manufacturer by production scale, specializing in the design, R&D, production, and sales of nonwoven fabrics. With 4 TPN nonwoven production lines and an annual output of 77,000 tons, it supplies advanced, high-performance nonwoven fabrics to the hygiene, medical, consumer goods, agricultural, and construction sectors. Previously, the business had deployed separate ERP, MES, financial reconciliation, and trade processing management systems. These systems could not integrate with each other, creating information silos. Operational data lacked the accuracy and timeliness required by management, becoming a bottleneck for Toray's rapid growth. Through SAP ERP, Toray consolidated its fragmented systems into a unified management platform, optimizing processes, improving efficiency, and ensuring quality. Using SAP HANA and SUSE Linux, the company built a real-time, precise accounting and analytics platform to help management make faster, more informed decisions.
