9,000 employees
Daifuku continues to grow
Material handling expert Daifuku has employed more than 9,000 people worldwide since July 2018. The Japanese company's growth is therefore also reflected in its workforce.
With the "Value Innovation 2020" business plan, Daifuku is pursuing a growth strategy and the consistent further development of intelligent logistics solutions. This also goes hand in hand with the company's expansion in terms of personnel. Over the past year, Daifuku has increased the number of employees from around 7,800 to more than 9,000.
The Japanese material handling specialist is also celebrating economic success: the total business volume has already increased by 25 percent between 2016 and 2017. "With our concept of offering each customer an intralogistics concept that is individually tailored to their needs, we are now successful far beyond Asia," explains Thomas Balluff, Branch Manager FA & DA Europe at Daifuku. "In the long term, this will of course also be reflected in our personnel development. In addition to expanding our workforce, we will continue to drive the company's economic growth in the coming years." as
