Picanol Group To Recruit An Additional 100 Employees In Ypres

The Picanol Group has announced that it is looking to expand its Ypres production capacity in order to meet worldwide demand for Picanol looms.

To meet the current production peak the Picanol Group is now actively recruiting 75 temporary workers for its Ypres production plant, with profiles being sought including assembly workers, production workers and CNC operators. In addition, the group is looking to fill approximately 25 vacancies in Ypres, including loom technicians, field technicians, process engineers, quality engineers and sales managers. The Picanol Group currently has 1,303 employees in Ypres.

The Picanol Group will be organising job days on Wednesday, June 24, from 2 pm to 5 pm and Saturday, June 27, from 10 am to 12 pm at the Steverlyncklaan in Ypres.
