At a time of widespread layoffs due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a London, Ont., pizza-making factory is looking to expand its workforce.
Dr. Oetker says its facility on the eastern edge of the city is looking to hire 19 permanent workers in a variety of roles. “Despite the difficult times… people need to eat, and we try to contribute to that,” said Marco Schmidt, the German multinational’s executive vice president of North American operations. “Obviously we’re considered to be an essential business here in London, and our people take a lot of pride contributing to the overall good by producing food,” Schmidt said Wednesday.
