Description

Zalando, a German mail order company, profits from an increase in orders of shoes, textiles and sporting goods; it will therefore create 500 new jobs at its main logistics centre in Erfurt (Thuringia). Erfurt is said to have an excellent location for reaching Zalando's 14 destination countries. The workforce will increase from 1,500 to 2,000 employees within the next couple of months.
