Pistor: 600-employee mark cracked
The bakery supplier Pistor is growing strongly: 616 employees have recently started working for the cooperative. In 2023, at least 50 new jobs are to be added. The company is thus becoming one of the largest 50 employers in Central Switzerland.
The Rothenburg-based company Pistor is growing continuously. The wholesaler no longer supplies only bakeries, but also restaurants and healthcare facilities such as hospitals and retirement homes. In addition, the company provides services such as consulting or billing processing, as well as setting up a digital B2B marketplace.
Pistor: Always more broadly positioned
"We are developing into a broad-based company. We hire a correspondingly large number of qualified personnel," explains HR and ICT Manager Michèle Waeber. In the last year alone, the workforce has grown by ten percent, so that today 616 employees work for the company. But the development is far from over, says Waeber. "We plan to create more than 50 new jobs in the course of this year. This makes us not only one of the most important employers in the canton of Lucerne, but in the whole of central Switzerland."
Combating the shortage of skilled workers with an attractive overall package
Pistor's job expansion is broad-based: Virtually all areas of the company are set to grow. From truck drivers to ICT experts, a wide range of profiles are sought. In order to score points with employees, Pistor offers various benefits. In addition to remuneration in line with the market, these include, for example, flexible working time models with up to nine weeks' vacation, a staff restaurant with discounted menus or offers for physical well-being and leisure experiences. "For job seekers, it's not just the salary that counts these days, but an attractive overall package. Pistor is also characterized by a personal corporate culture. That is why I am convinced that we will continue to be able to fill our vacancies with qualified personnel," says Michèle Waeber.
