Description
The Fischer Advanced Composite Components (FACC) corporation, a leading company specialised in the development, design and manufacture of composite components and systems for civil aircraft announced a new hiring of 120 new workers until 2022 in its factory in Croatia. The FACC Solutions Factory of Croatia has been running at full capacity since January 2022 and is expected to reach its default volume for 2022 in six months. In January 2022, production began in the new production plant FACC Solutions Croatia, which delivers spare parts to giants such as Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier and others.
The company has 130 employees, by the end of the year they intend to double that number to about 250 employees. Long-term, there will be about 400 production workers in the first of three phases. Despite the curent serious labour force shortages in Croatia, the company did not have problems finding with potential workers because it provides very good working conditions and relatively high remuneration.
The plant is part of Austrian firm FACC.
Update 17/6/2022: The plant has been opened and 170 workers have been hired. The company still plans to hire 250 by the end of the year and has risen the number of worker it plans to hire in the long term from 400 to 600.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
