Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
Niceshops, an Austrian e-commerce specialist, has announced the creation of 50 new jobs at its newly acquired 23,000 m² site in Saaz in March 2026.
The expansion follows record growth last year, when the company shipped two million parcels to 80 countries and achieved a €169 million turnover.
The firm currently employs about 400 staff across Saaz, Graz and Vienna and plans to fill the remaining positions until the end of the year. Automation and robotics solutions are being introduced to streamline standardised logistics processes, reinforcing its digital-transition strategy.
With all new jobs concentrated in Saaz, Niceshops will keep the entire value chain regional while supporting sustainable growth across its Austrian operations.
Updated, 13/02/2026 In July, the company announced that 35 of the planned 50 jobs had already been filled, mostly in logistics, but also in the areas of internationalisation, IT and purchasing.
