Full speed ahead for Voestalpine SSC project in the Katowicka SEZ

 "We will invest EUR 19.5 million and to begin with we will employ 37 people. Within five years their number will increase to 80," declared Wolfgang Neubauer, a member of Voestalpine SSC Polska board. The company will build a metal elements processing plant. Its clients are to include companies from the white goods, automobile and construction sectors. "The company bought a 4-hectare plot of land in Tychy from FIAT. The investment is planned to be launched later this month and will be completed in March 2007," added Justyna Romańczyk from Katowicka SEZ. The project will be the first factory of the Austrian concern in Poland and the third company from the group registered in this country. "Voestalpine Polska which sells our products from Austria operates in Kraków, while Voestalpine Stahlhandel Polska, registered in Gliwice, trades in steel," explained Neubauer.
