Birkenstock grows: 650 employees in Pasewalk and other plans

The well-known shoe and sandal manufacturer Birkenstock has carried out an important personnel expansion in Pasewalk, a city in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district. In August 2024, 160 new employees were hired there, which represents a remarkable increase for the company.

Birkenstock opened its production facility in Pasewalk last year, and the first steps began in September 2023 with only 200 employees. Within a year, the workforce has already increased to 650 employees. The attitude of 160 new employees in August shows the growing demand and the expanding company of the company in the region.

The Pasewalk location, which is located in the Berlin-Stettin industrial park, is increasingly developing into a central point of production for Birkenstock. The extension of the workforce is part of a more comprehensive strategy of the company that plans to employ a total of around 1,000 employees in this facility over time. This could not only have positive effects for Birkenstock itself, but also for the local economy, since more jobs are generated.

The announcements were announced during the “Mass for Western Pomerania” performance show, which took place last weekend. Such events are important in order to present the success of local companies and to draw potential workforce to the possibilities in the region. Birkenstock is an established name on the market and the increase in new jobs shows the dynamics of the company and its commitment to the Vorpommern-Greifswald region.

The decision of Birkenstock to expand further in Pasewalk reflects the trend that companies in Germany are increasingly using regional locations to bring their production closer to the customer. Due to the settlement in Pasewalk, Birkenstock can not only optimize production costs, but also benefit from the favorable location in northeastern Germany.

summarized it can be said that Birkenstock has made a step in the right direction with his decision to invest in Pasewalk. With the continuous attitude of new employees, the company shows a long -term perspective for its location and at the same time contributes to the economic revival of the region.
