The Polish chain Empik (Elektronika Muzyka Prasa i Książki), which sells books, press and media products, has announced that it will create about 100 new jobs in 2019. The company plans to expand employment in two departments: e-commerce and IT.
Empik was founded in 1948 during Poland’s communist period as KMPiK (Klub Międzynarodowej Prasy i Książki/ International Press and Book Club), a state-owned company. In 1991, it was acquired by private investors, and given its current name.
