Delphi battles to locate second plant in Kraków

"We are pushing the company's headquarters to allow us to construct the second stage of the center. Thanks to that, another 500 people could be employed and our center would become one of the largest in the world. The decision is to be made by mid-year," stated Marek Adamiak, the director of Delphi in Poland. He admitted that the Polish branch of the company has yet to persuade its American bosses to choose Poland and not other country for another investment. "We have a good graduate base with Kraków Technical University and the AGH University of Science and Technology located nearby. We also have wide experience thanks to the implementation of several major projects. However, those arguments may not be enough. This is why we are trying to gain support from the state," declared Adamiak. He revealed that the company is currently in talks with the Polish Information and Foreign Investments Agency (PAIiIZ). "The offer for Delphi is being prepared. It is possible that the new investment will be included in the special economic zone," stated Sebastian Mikosz from PAIiIZ. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 8) E.B.
