When O-I centralised its European business services in 2014, it chose Poznan as the ideal location. The Business Service Center provides key functions for all of O-I's European operations including accounts receivable and payable, data management and reporting. The process of current recruitment for BSC particularly focuses on professionals experienced in IT.

- Such a big recruitment is a great opportunity for talented professionals. We know how much work we have done in Poznan over the last 3 years and how many new opportunities are still ahead of us. O-I operates as one company to make the most of its global presence and expertise and the people who make up the BSC provide a great example of this approach - said Magdalena Jankowska, HR Leader, O-I North East Europe.

The decision to embark on such intensive recruitment illustrates O-I's ongoing commitment to the city of Poznan and Poland in general. O-I continues to create a network of skilled and passionate people across the world and Poland is a natural choice for us when it comes to the development of our business due to the location in the middle of Europe and access to outstanding, well-educated professionals. In return we offer international connections and culture as well as some of the best training and development in the manufacturing sector - noticed Marco Sandei, O-I Director of European Business Services Center.
