Airbus A350 parts will be produced in Łódź

Nimrod Group, a sub-contractor of parts for Airbus planes, opened a production facility in Łódź on Thursday. The French firm will use the center to produce metal components for the new Airbus A350, for which it won a sub-contract worth $45 million. Group president Eddy Ephrati said that the facility will produce almost 44,000 parts per month, in order to meet demand for 700 orders of the model. Around 200 people are to be employed at the Łódź center. Production will at first take place in rented factory halls, but the firm has plans to build its own center within two years.
