Coca-Cola restructuring will lead to 300 job losses

Under a major restructuring of its sales and distribution networks, Coca-Cola Beverages Polska is planning to make some 300 workers redundant. The restructuring will see Poland divided into eight sales regions, but company representatives insist that there are no plans to close any of its Polish operations. Coca-Cola communications director Michal Rosa pointed out that the restructuring is aimed at reducing operational costs. "The process will last several months," he added. Rosa promised that the laid-off workers will receive a very attractive severance package, as well as assistance in finding another job. Currently Coca-Cola employs 2,700 people in Poland. Last year revenue in the country reached some zl.1.2 billion. (Puls Biznesu, p. 3) A.Z.
