Miele wants another 200 staff to produce components for luxury home appliances

Miele, the German manufacturer of premium home appliances, has come to manufacture all the additional parts it needs globally with 90 staff, one year after setting up the first component plant in Eastern Europe, in Brașov.
“We have developed gradually, and currently have 90 employees working for the company, with one in four of them being previously unemployed. Over the next few years the number of employees could reach 300, which would ensure additional personnel for production of electronic components,” Hartmut Hohaus, general manager of Miele Technica, local subsidiary of the German group, told ZF.
Miele Technica, with 3.6 million euros in turnover in 2009, is sending products manufactured in Brașov to production facilities in Germany for assembly. Fridge freezers that sell for 4,000 to 22,000 euros, ovens costing around 5,000 euros, and wine coolers worth over 3,000 euros are brought back to Romania.
