Description
The Danish pork processing plant, Danish Crown, announced on the 8th of August 2018 that its factory in Blans, Southern Jutland, will hire 100 employees. A new free trade agreement between EU and Japan is expected to lead to more export of processed pork meat to Japan in the coming years. Until now, Japanese consumers have processed the Danish porc meat themselves, but the new trade agreement makes it favourable to process the meat in Denmark. More specifically, the number of employees in Blans will increase from 1100 to 1200.
In house training of the first group of new employees has started, but according to the plan the increased production will start for real at the end of 2018.
