3M rolls out worldwide production facility in Wrocław
As a result, Poland will be the only country where the company will manufacture this product, which will be delivered to Europe and North America, or even to Japan. "Before 3M took over the Viscoplast plant in December 2001, exports constituted only 5% of sales. In 2003 the figure went up to roughly 50%, while after the transfer of production is concluded it will reach over 75%," explained Piotr Freyberg, 3M Polands managing director. The company will employ an additional 120 people. 3M expects to improve its results by limiting administration costs and concentrating production in one spot. Production efficiency should rise by 25%. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 7) M.M.
