Description

Wärtsilä, a Finnish technology group, announced the establishment of a new Wärtsilä Global Business Services hub in Gdańsk, Poland.

The centre will support the company’s global operations in finance and master data management and is expected to create around 100 new expert positions by the end of 2026. The Gdańsk hub will be Wärtsilä’s second global business services centre, complementing the existing hub in Vaasa, Finland. Wärtsilä has operated in Gdańsk for around 30 years and currently employs about 300 people locally in its marine business. The expansion is intended to improve business process efficiency and support the company’s technology-driven transformation, including automation and AI.
