Description

The paper bag manufacturer Compagnie Européenne des Emballages Robert Schisler (CEE Schisler) is recruiting 100 employees in the coming months in order to manage a huge demand of paper bags following legislation that banned plastic bags in the retail sector, and which came into force on 1 July 2016 (and will extend to fruit and vegetables on 1 January 2017). CEE Schisler has increased its turnover by about 10% and announced that its current workforce of 400 employees will extend to at least 500 in the coming months. All new recruits will be offered permanent employment contracts.
