Description
Fresenius Kabi, a German pharmaceutical company, is to invest €34 million in its Graz sites, thus employing an additional 160 employees by 2015.
The company, which is specialised in infusion therapy, is to develop four new product lines at its Graz and Wernberg (just south of Graz) sites. According to Mr Haszonits, the company's CEO, some 60 positions have already been filled, with more to be filled in the areas logistics and production (product management), as well as project management and controlling. The so-called 'finalising area' which encompasses the packaging and labelling of the products is to move to the logistics centre Wernberg. The expansion is due to increases in turnover.
By the end of 2012, some 100 out of the envisaged 160 positions will be filled.

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.
