Ingram Micro Slovakia, which is active in providing solutions for logistics and e-commerce, will create more than 1,000 new jobs in a new logistics centre in Kostolne Kracany near Dunajska Streda in Slovakia. From September 2021 Ingram Micro Slovakia plans to gradually employ over 1,000 people in the complex. Go Asset, an Austrian property developer, is building a new 55,000 square metre hall for e-commerce and logistics for the company there. It is part of an industrial and logistics park called Log Centre R7, of which construction started at the beginning of 2021 and should be in operation by the end of 2021. The employment capacity of the new complex is 5,000 people within the next two years. Some 80% of staff should be women.
