Faurecia to Expand Polish Operation

GORZOW, Poland - The company, which has for several years now been operating in Gorzów, plans to expand its business and buy two new production lines and painting equipment thanks to which it will be able to produce dashboards and door panels for new Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Volvo cars. On December 21st, 2010 the company got the permission to make new investments in the Kostrzyn-Słubice Special Economic Zone.

Expansion of production will require further investments in the company’s facility infrastructure - enlargement of the production floor, improvements in logistic system, construction of warehouses as well as more workshop and office space.
By the end of 2013 investment outlays in the project are estimated to reach PLN40 million (€10 million) and create 10 new jobs while maintaining its current level of employment i.e. 685 by the end of 2018.

The Faurecia project closes a very good year at the Kostrzyn-Słubice SEZ. In 2010 the SEZ issued 12 business activity permissions according to which new investment projects worth jointly PLN539.5 million will create 2694 new workplaces. The 2010 project will be localised in Kostrzyn nad Odrą, Gorzów, Słubice, Poznań, Karlin, Swarzędz and Stęszew.
