Description
SHEIN, a global online fashion retailer in the e-commerce logistics sector, is expanding its operations in Powiat Wrocławski, increasing employment to 5,000 jobs as the new logistics hub reaches full capacity by 2025.
The expansion responds to rising European demand and includes a technologically advanced 740,000 m² facility that will gradually scale up operations until the end of 2025, creating new roles in warehouse automation and logistics services.
SHEIN has operated in Poland since 2022, already creating over 3,000 jobs, and works with more than 170 local SMEs to support its logistics ecosystem.
