Description
Polish producer of snacks Perla Polska announced that it will create 400 new jobs at its new production facility in Słupsk. The new plant is expected to be launched in June 2021. It is going to include a fully automated warehouse.
Founded in 2004, Perla Polska is specialised in the production of healthy snacks and antipasti, including hummus, prawns and salads. The company cooperates with the most popular retail chains in Poland and Europe (e.g. Lidl, Biedronka, Tesco, Auchan and Carrefour). The company has a factory near Słupsk, employing 600 people. The production is going to be moved from here to the new plant.
Previous business expansion was announced in June 2020 (100 jobs created).

European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
