Description
The Estonian metal manufacturing company Hanza Mechanics has opened a new assembly plant in Narva, creating 40 new jobs.
The expansion includes 5000 extra square meters of production area and requires up to 40 new employees. The need for the expansion comes from an increase in demand. Thanks to the new department, the company can start providing the complete production solution to their customers in one place which was not possible previously.
Hanza Mechanics is specialised in complete and partial solutions in heavy mechanics. Their customers come from the mining, energy, material handling and mechanical engineering sectors. The company also offers assembly services, which include the final assembly and testing of systems. Prior to the latest expansion, there were 263 employees in the company in Narva.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
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.
