EADS scours Poland for electronics and IT suppliers

"Our two trade missions have already visited about 30 Polish plants in 2006. Another group is coming tomorrow," said Sebastian Magadzio, EADS' managing director in Poland. This time they will be looking for IT suppliers, and in June another group of experts will come in search of electronic-goods producers. "We are conducting advanced talks with potential partners. We hope to conclude some of them in the coming weeks," said Laurent-Patrick de Gouvion Saint-Cyr, deputy president of EADS for CEE. One of the potential partners is Bumar. "We are not looking for cheap labor. This can be found in China. We are looking for the best qualified workers," said deputy president of the group. Last year the company purchased products worth EUR30 million in Poland. (Puls Biznesu, p.9) M.M.
