The manufacturing landscape in Europe is evolving rapidly. As major multinational companies are spending billions on new sites or upgraded production capabilities, there is unprecedented demand for skilled talent to achieve those goals.
Perhaps one of the most notable developments is Eli Lilly’s announcement of a €3 billion investment creating new manufacturing operations across Europe. This investment bodes well for growth in the sector and increased confidence in the future of manufacturing in this market.
The leading companies in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food manufacturing, and engineering are continuing to scale, and the position of securing credible, educated, and compliant manpower is paramount.
Dynamic Staffing Services is working with manufacturing companies to identify qualified talent to address increased production demand without sacrificing quality or competitiveness.
The Manufacturing Industry in Europe is Picking Up Speed
Eli Lilly’s multi-billion euro investment to expand manufacturing capacity is emblematic of a broader shift that is happening across Europe. Companies are strengthening their supply chains, creating locally-based production, and building state-of-the-art, digitally enabled facilities. The upswing is due to:
- increased global demand for pharmaceutical and medical products
- increased focus on innovation and automation
- local and federal government incentives to expand manufacturing
- An increase in the need for supply chains that are more robust and diversified.
The Skill Shortage Problem
Even with a buoyant investment environment, manufacturing companies are confronting a significant challenge with a skilled workforce. As companies grow their operations into larger-scale facilities, there is an increasing need for technical and operational workers, and Europe’s local labour market is lagging.
Some of the main roles that are in short supply include:
- Process and production operators
- Quality control and assurance specialists
- Mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation technicians
- Maintenance engineers
- Packaging and assembly line workers
- Warehouse and logistics personnel
Without the right workforce, companies may experience delays in operations, quality issues, and increased operational costs.
Why Strategic Staffing Is Important for Manufacturing Success
As more and more facilities implement automation, robotics, and advanced production systems, the new role of manufacturing necessitates a unique combination of technical skills, compliance requirements, and on-the-job experience. Companies that invest early in strategic workforce planning and recruitment will be optimally positioned to take advantage of Europe’s manufacturing opportunity.
- Strategic staffing will help manufacturers:
- Reduce downtime caused by labour shortages
- Ensure compliance with safety and regulatory requirements
- Manage changes to workforce capacity in scalability that comes with growing production
- Lower recruitment costs and facilitate the mobilisation of a skilled workforce
- Deliver improved productivity by hiring a skilled and reliable workforce
This is where Dynamic Staffing Services becomes a meaningful and right partner.
