Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
HelloFresh, a German foodtech and e-grocery company, announced the creation of around 100 jobs at a new technology hub in Warsaw by the end of 2026. The company had only a small presence in Poland before the expansion and plans to develop the Warsaw site into one of its key global technology centres.
The expansion is linked to digital product development, artificial intelligence and data-driven food supply chain operations. Recruitment has already started and will focus on highly qualified IT roles, including artificial intelligence, data science, machine learning, cybersecurity, platform engineering and digital product management. In the longer term, the company expects the hub to employ several hundred specialists. The investment, estimated at well above several million euros, aims to strengthen HelloFresh’s global operations through advanced digital solutions.
