Electrolux expand Silesian plant with welcomed investment and jobs

Swedish electrical producer Electrolux intends to increase its investments in Poland to EUR 30 million from the current EUR 5-10 million. Electrolux Home Products president Dieter Lange said at a press conference yesterday that the amount will be earmarked for the expansion of Elextrolux's plant in Siewierz in Silesia, which assembles dryers and washing machines. The current production line in Siewierz is too small therefore we need to expand the plant. Thanks to this, the number of employees will increase to 500 from the current 300 currently employed. Lange also added that the plant will produce a million washing machines and driers at the annual value of EUR 300 million. A number of these products will be exported. (parkiet, p4) A.Z.
