With 40 production facilities around the globe and a market presence in over 100 countries, Jotun is a truly multi-national company.

Jotun began working with IFS in 2003, initially implementing IFS components for financials, manufacturing, logistics management, procurement and maintenance in its Scandinavian operations. Since this successful introduction, it has steadily expanded its use of IFS to support and optimize business-critical processes to more than 30 countries worldwide.
Our consistent global growth has been strongly supported by the cooperation we have had with IFS. having now also recently chosen the IFS CRM solution, we look forward to streamlining our operations even further.
