Kemira Gdańsk – 10 years on the market Meanwhile, Kemira Gdańsk marked its 10th anniversary in Poland. Over the past 10 years, the Business Services Center in Gdańsk has evolved from a transitional phase with centralized management to a value-adding hub seamlessly aligned with the global business strategy. A dedicated team of 250 professionals from 12 nationalities powers the Gdańsk center, handling customer order management, finance & administration, IT, and orders for goods and services. In the last few years, a transformation towards knowledge-based roles has been observed. This is possible thanks to prioritization of internal recruitments, work-shadowing programs and the unwavering pursuit of excellence. Gdańsk employees have therefore undertaken positions in logistics, trade operations, sourcing, payments, VAT & intrastat, talent development, digital solutions, operational excellence, regional planning, and many more. Striving for excellence and great knowhow cannot be enough in today’s world.
Kemira is a very egalitarian company, diverse and inclusive. That is why the center got nominated to the ABSL Diamonds Award in the category of Vibrant Workplace with Kemira Wellness 360 program. Recognitions such as "The Most BeLOVEd BSC in Tricity", "Most Foreigner Friendly Employer" and also “Social Responsible Employer” underscore the center's commitment to social responsibility. Kemira has taken bold steps by establishing employee networks such as KemPride (LGBTQIA+) and Woman Network, emphasizing ethics, sustainable development, diversity, and inclusion. Marta Gołubowicz, Managing Director of Kemira Gdańsk, encapsulates this commitment, stating,
We have launched two employee networks and are open for more. Topics such as ethics, sustainable development, diversity, and inclusion are treated with the greatest attention”. In summary, Kemira's journey is not just about operational tasks; it's a narrative of resilience, transformation, and a relentless pursuit of excellence in a world that demands more than just know-how.
