Description
Jysk, the Danish retail chain, has recently made an announcement about the expansion of its logistics centre in Ecser and for the company's plan to open four new stores in Hungary this year. The personnel of the logistics centre is to grow from the current 200 to 300 employees by spring. The number of employees is expected to reach a peak of 500.
This expansion is necessary because the Ecser centre serves not only the stores in Hungary, but the stores in Croatia, Slovenia and Slovakia as well.
