According to the PAIiIZ, each of these investments will create between 50 and 100 new jobs. The decision was taken after the government signed a contract worth EUR132 million with Whirlpool at the beginning of the month concerning the construction of a cooker plant and the development of its existing freezer and dishwashing machine production lines near Wrocław. PAIiIZ also revealed that the country received $6.42 billion in foreign investments last year, 51% of which were greenfield.
