Description
Waberer's-Szemerey Logisztika inaugurated its new headquarters at Miskolc, with 160 new trucks and 100 new jobs. The site was financed with an investment amounting to HUF 3 billion (€9.57 million).
The announcement was made only a month before the company would publish plans for another significant job expansion in the Budapest region.
Waberer's Logisztika and Szemerey Transport integrated their Hungarian logistics services in 2012. Waberer's predecessor Volán Tefu has been established in 1948 and became one of the largest road freight transporters in the Central-Eastern-European region.
The ERM reported previously on the creation of jobs at Waberer’s International, announced in 2012.

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.
