Cersanit plans large investment to greatly expand production and exports

Cersanit, Poland's leading manufacturer of bathroom fittings, will open a new factory in Starachowice Special Economic Zone at a cost of zl.15 million. The plant, near an existing factory, will produce bathroom fittings, such as bathtubs and acrylate shower trays. Plans also include expanding an existing factory near Walbrzych at an additional cost of zl.60 million, which will boost production by 50%. "We want to fight imports and at the same time to export 40% of output from the Walbrzych plant," said Artur Kloczko, deputy head of the Cersanit supervisory board. Cersanit recorded a consolidated result of zl.248.7 million revenue from sales, and zl.19.9 million net profits last year. (Puls Biznesu, p. 6) A.K.
