Finnish cargo-handling machinery maker Cargotec opened its new global Cargotec Business Service (CBS) centre in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. The investment demonstrates Cargotec’s confidence in the local team of dedicated professionals and the Bulgarian talent pool to help company’s growth.

The CBS team presently consists of 130 people; however, it is expected that it would expand significantly over the coming years. The aim is to develop and deliver world-class global business support services in the fields of finance, human resources, information management, as well as indirect procurement.  

“Our investment in the modern office in the heart of Sofia is a long-term commitment with focus on continuous improvement. We plan to grow, and are in the lookout for people who are future-oriented and eager to develop their skills in a global company, and lead the way in building smarter business services,” says Maya Milanova, Head of Cargotec Business Services.
