Carlsberg moves office work to Poland

Carlsberg Breweries continue the rationalizations and cost savings in Western Europe by establishing an office for accounting service in Poznan in Poland as of November 1.
»The workforce in Poland is very well-educated, the salary is lower, and the infrastructure is good in Poznan,« press officer Jens Peter Skaarup, Carlsberg, told the news agency Direkt.
Specifically, 40 positions from Carlsberg in Germany and 30 from Poland are moved to the new centre. On June 1, 2007, further 26 positions from Switzerland and in the third quarter 2007 26 positions from UK are moved to the new Poznan accounting service centre.
All units in Western Europe have been offered accounting service in Poland, but accounting is one of the areas where the individual country managements are masters in their own house.
»Of course, there is a financial upside in this re-positioning, but we’ll not tell how much,« Jens Peter Skaarup said. Direkt/BNS
