Employee Statistics

The trend in the Group's workforce over the last year has been characterised by substantial stability at the Group level (+167 employees), while employment levels at the individual businesses changed at different rates.

At Pirelli Tyre hiring increased at the new investment centres in China and Romania, with an increase in blue-collar employment in Brazil following change in the work patterns at the Santo André and Gravatai factories and higher production volumes and insourcing of resources from certain supplier firms (particularly in logistics).
Other growth took place at Pirelli Eco Technology to start up the new particulate filter plant in Romania. At Pirelli Real Estate, acquisition of the German company Baubecom was completed in 2008, while the facility  management business was sold and restructuring of the other Real Estate Group companies began.
