Polish producer of garden furniture Stelmet announced that it will create 100 jobs at its units in Zielona Góra, Jeleniów and Lubięcin (all units are located in the Lubusz Voivodeship).
The source reports that the company is looking for experienced wood processing machine operators, but the company will also provide specialist training and workshops for new staff.
The source reports that Stelmet launched a new line of garden furniture at the end of 2013, and the job creation is a result of an increase in orders.
The ERM previously reported on cases of restructuring at Stelmet in 2005 and 2006.
