At present, the Swiss-held company has almost 500 employees in Romania as it has only import and distribution operations.
The company’s officials say the average gross wage Nestle Romania pays now tops RON11,000, twice the average of the activity field.
The announcement regarding the potential hiring comes as Nestle has recently announced it planned to double its activity in Romania in the next 5-10 years through organic growth, as well as potential acquisitions.
Over the past ten years, the company has invested over RON250 million in Romania.
The group in 2020 generated RON933 turnover in Romania, slightly up, by less than 1%, against 2019. Given the activity doubling strategy, the company targets RON1.8 billion turnover in 5-10 years.
The Swiss giant has been present in Romania since 1996, when the first Nestle brands were brought onto the market. From 6 employees initially, it now has come to around 500 locally.
