Bosch-Denso to open diesel particulate filter factory

According to previous reports in Puls Biznesu, the investment is to reach zł.225 million and will create 250 jobs. "I cannot confirm it. The plant will be launched in 2009 so we have some time to work out the details," said Michael Mack, spokesman of Robert Bosch. However, Puls Biznesu reported that the final value of the project has not changed. "The company is introducing new technology in the automotive sector, which is moving Poland onto another level," said Wojciech Szelągowski, deputy president of the Polish Information and Foreign Investment Agency (PAIiIZ). Bosch and Denso hope that due to Euro 5 emission norm, filters produced in the factory will be employed in all engines used in Europe. The enterprise decided against establishing an R&D center as it failed to receive a financial grant. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 7) M.M.
