In spring 2011, the roastery at Tver in Russia went into operation. This made Paulig an important employer in the area.

A sales and maintenance unit was set up in Sweden for the company. Vendor penetrated Norway with the acquisition of small, local company in the coffee equipment service sector.

Number of personnel grew in Russia

Paulig’s Coffee Division has nearly 500 employees in seven different countries. The number of personnel increased in particular due to the opening of the roastery at Tver in Russia.

In Finland, Paulig had a total of 197 employees at the end of 2011. Gustav Paulig Ltd paid 13.3 million euros in wages and salaries with indirect costs in 2011, which is similar to the previous year’s figure.
