“Linde Gaz Global Services is expanding operations by 300 people,” said Nicolae Robu, Timisoara city mayor.

According to the job ads published by the company on job sites, the services center will provide support to customers in Greece, Cyprus, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Hungary.

“Linde has already started recruitment, selection is ongoing, we are looking for analysts to fill the back office, front office and team leader positions,” the Linde Gaz Romania officials said. They did not comment on the number of 300 employees that the Timisoara City Hall said would be hired and did not say when recruitment would be over, either.

Linde has been operating in Romania since 1996, and is currently employing 420 employees. It specializes in production of industrial gases used by various industrial sectors and posted EUR105.5 million revenue in this country last year.
