Royal Greenland opens its European Shared Service Center Office in Gdańsk

Royal Greenland, a global market leader in supplying and processing of cold-water prawns and Greenland Halibut, has officially announced the opening of its European Shared Service Center Office in Gdansk, Poland. This new facility, employing approximately 30 dedicated staff, will serve customers globally.

As a truly vertically integrated company, Royal Greenland delivers wild-caught, high-quality seafood from the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean to consumers worldwide. Greenland, the world’s largest island, is bigger than France, Spain, Germany, Italy, and Great Britain combined, yet it is home to only 56,000 inhabitants. All along the coasts where the ice is not permanent, as the centre of the island is covered by the ice cap year-round.

− After careful consideration, we chose Gdansk in Poland due to the availability of skilled and motivated employees, its proximity to Scandinavia, and the fact that, as a seafood company, we feel comfortable in a harbour city. Poland hosts more than 1,500 Centres of Shared Services, and we are proud to be the first from Greenland − said Royal Greenland’s CEO, Susanne Arfelt Rajamand.

The new Royal Greenland European Shared Service Center (ESSC) aims to enhance customer service and operational efficiency, employing over 30 skilled professionals. This initiative is a key component of Royal Greenland’s broader strategy to foster growth and innovation while maintaining the high standards the customers expect worldwide.
− Since we started in July, I am impressed by the spirit of our employees and the speed at which they have transferred tasks from various countries to our European Shared Service Center (ESSC) here in Gdansk. I am confident that our Tricity office will further improve the service we offer to our valued customers around the globe. (…) We would also like to thank our friends from Invest in Pomerania for the help they have given us when establishing in Gdansk − stated Gabriela Gawel, Director at Royal Greenland Poland.

− We are pleased to welcome the first Greenlandic company, a global leader in the seafood processing market. The decision of Royal Greenland to open an European Shared Service Center here in the Tricity area is a confirmation that we offer attractive conditions for business development based on highly qualified personnel and quality of service. Openness to the needs of specific companies are additional factors that allow us to compete with the most demanding investors − concluded Mieczysław Struk, Marshal of Pomorskie Voivodeship.
