BSH Sprzęt Gospodarstwa Domowego, a leading manufacturer of household appliances in Poland, announced a recruitment drive for around 170 new workers at its Wrocław sites, mainly in production roles at the refrigerator factory as well as in warehousing and logistics.
The expansion is linked to increased production capacity and the introduction of new product lines, and recruitment has already started. BSH operates two factories in Wrocław producing refrigerators and ovens as part of its wider manufacturing footprint in Poland. The rapid increase in output has strengthened the role of the Wrocław plants within the company’s European home-appliance supply chain, making the Wrocław operation an important production hub for the group.
Previous ERM cases concerning BSH in Poland are BSH Sprzęt Gospodarstwa Domowego, BSH Sprzęt Gospodarstwa Domowego, BSH Sprzęt Gospodarstwa Domowego, BSH Sprzet Gospodarstwa Domowego.
