Belchatów lobbies to win Humax LCD investment

"We have an investor who wants to invest EUR 10 million and create 200 new jobs," declared Leszek Wysocki from the local government in Belchatów. "The construction of the plant could begin in June and production could be launched in October," revealed Chang Gin Kim from Humax. The factory is eventually to produce 1 million LCD and plasma TVs. "I believe that the factory will achieve this output level in 2008-2009," added Chang Gin Kim. Humax is also to expand its two research centers in Poland which currently employ only 13 people. "We want it to be 100 strong in 2010. The Polish government agreed to support the investment," stated Chang Gin Kim. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 6) E.B.
