The Business Operations & Services Center of Pfizer started its operation in Thessaloniki in April 2021 and is already charting a continuous development course, even exceeding the initial planning of the company.
Today, after just 9 months of operation, the Center employs more than 250 people, a number that exceeds the initial target, while it is expected to reach 280 employees in the first half of 2022. More than 30 employees are young people who have returned to Greece since abroad, with a high level of education and specialization.
The Center for Business Operations & Services already serves from Thessaloniki the global organization of Pfizer and more specifically 50 countries from Europe, the Middle East and Africa, while the goal in 2022 is the further development in this field, serving more than 70 countries from these 3 continents.
The Centre’s services in these countries cover Pfizer’s financial, human resource management, payroll, project management, procurement and internal policies worldwide. In fact, the Center’s staff speaks 23 different languages, offering high quality services in different countries.
Mr. Antonis Chatzimanolakis, Head of EMEA Payroll & Business Readiness of the Pfizer Center in Thessaloniki, said: This fact justifies the choice of Thessaloniki and our country for this investment and further highlights the high level of human resources of our country and the possibility of permanent repatriation of Greeks abroad (brain re-gain) who left during the financial crisis in the last decade “.
The Center for Business Operations and Services together with the Center for Digital Technology constitute Pfizer’s global investment in Thessaloniki. Within the first half of 2022, the Center will be transferred in parallel to the new facilities of Pfizer in Pylaia, Thessaloniki, which already houses the global Center for Digital Technology.
It is important to note that in December 2021, the Center for Business Operations & Services was approved as a strategic investment by the Interministerial Committee on Strategic Investments.
