ThyssenKrupp's SSC in Gdańsk opened

German ThyssenKrupp has launched its Global Service Center in Gdańsk. The shared service center will ultimately employ 700 people. It will provide finance and accounting, HR and payroll as well as real estate management services. The latter is a new type of service on the Tri-City market. “A well-developed SSC environment, strong economic growth, well-qualified workforce and convenient geographical location, as well as high quality of services and great command of foreign languages were all compelling arguments to launch activity in Gdańsk,” said Lars Hölzer, head of Global Service Center at ThyssenKrupp. ThyssenKrupp employs over 160,000 people in 80 countries.
