Delphi Automotive Systems to build factory in Tychy

One of the major automotive component suppliers U.S.-based Delphi Automotive Systems is planning to build a new factory in Tychy and is considering opening up a new plant producing electronic components. It is forecasting to generate more than zl. 1 billion in profit in Poland this year. To reach this goal it has reduced its labor force and wants to increase its exports. In five years the annual sales of the company are predicted to reach zl. 4.3 billion. On July 26 the Technical Center in Krakow will start operating. Delphi president Leszek Waliszewski said they decided to open up a center in Poland because the costs of employing an engineer in Poland are lower than in Western countries.
