Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis met at Maximos Mansion on Tuesday with Fourlis Group president Vasilis Fourlis and Inter IKEA Group Category Distribution Manager Andrea Colzani, who announced a joint investment in a new global distribution center led by IKEA, ANA reports.
Inter IKEA’s decision to invest in Greece involves a state-of-the-art global product distribution center covering 50,000 square meters at Aspropyrgos that will be supplied through the port of Piraeus, southeast of the industrial area. It will serve the East Mediterranean markets, covering at an initial stage the needs of IKEA stores in Greece, Bulgaria, Jordan, Israel, and Cyprus before gradually expanding elsewhere, such as Egypt.
The investment is worth 70 million euros and will include nearly 100 permanent positions, including highly specialized positions in data processing, data analysis, logistics, and artificial intelligence.
