Stena invest in Wroclaw.

The Swedish company Stena AB operates in the shipping, ferry, real estate and finance sectors. The international corporation invests in Wroclaw. In March, the Swedes opened an IT center and want to hire 70 people in the first year of operation. They have strategic plans to transfer some services from Sweden to Poland. See details.

Stena AB, founded in 1939 by Stena Allan Olsson, is one of the largest private companies in Sweden. It currently operates globally in sectors such as shipping, ferry lines, real estate and finance.

The newly established branch in Poland will operate under the name Stena Rederi and will focus on providing advanced IT solutions to support the operations of the global Stena Group.

The choice of Wroclaw as a location is not accidental. For years, the city has been attracting innovative companies thanks to access to highly qualified staff, developed technological infrastructure and a unique atmosphere supporting the development of the IT sector.

We strive to be a strategic partner in the development of business technologies for all Stena AB units, providing effective and efficient IT services.

The dynamic development of the IT sector in Wroclaw confirms that the city is an ideal place for global investments,” he concludes.
