Fluid systems solutions provider Swagelok will replace its business systems with SAP ERP, after it reached an agreement with SAP AG.

The improved efficiencies and processes offered by the enterprise resource planning application will benefit financial, human resources and supply chain elements of the business.

Swagelok president and chief executive Arthur Anton suggested that the ERP platform is "best suited" to meet the needs of its client base over the next decade.

He added: "The new relationship between Swagelok and SAP is founded on our shared values and dedication to excellence.

"Both organisations have an intense focus on the customer and a commitment to teamwork."

Earlier this month, STEF-TFE group agreed to start using SAP AG solutions to improve customer relations and accelerate cash flow.

The Paris-based company is making use of SAP ERP applications, with initial results showing greater visibility of the root causes.
