Provider of cargo handling equipment Kalmar, subsidiary of Cargotec, has announced that it will create 200 new jobs at its unit in Stargard. The job creation is due to the transfer of production of forklift trucks from Sweden to Poland; the production will be transferred to Poland within two years. The restructuring programme is associated with the company’s plan to consolidate its assembly facilities in Europe; the programme aims to improve financial and organisational effectiveness of the company.
