3M's Procurement Planning Service Centre in Wroclaw, which is responsible for purchasing and supplying production materials to all 3M plants in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, is undergoing intensive development. Therefore the company is looking for new employees.
In 2021, the American company 3M began rebuilding its supply chain structures. In Wroclaw the company has located a new unit - the Planning Service Center (PSC), i.e. the Procurement Planning Service Center for all 3M plants in the EMEA region, (Europe, Middle East and Africa). Ultimately it will be responsible for purchasing and supplying production materials to all 3M factories in the region.
Opportunity for interesting professional development
The 3M Procurement Planning Service Centre in Wroclaw currently employs 40 people. Due to its intensive development over the next few months the company plans to hire more employees - mainly experts in material planning and cooperation with suppliers.

The purchases are delivered to 28 3M production plants located in such countries as Poland, Germany, Sweden, Great Britain, France, Italy, Spain and Turkey.
