GM to invest in Tychy plant

General Motors has announced plans to invest some €250 million into expanding its production plant in the southwestern Polish city of Tychy. The investment is related to a bigger plan, which also involves the group’s factories in Rüsselsheim and Kaiserslautern in Germany. In Tychy, GM will produce diesel engines and transmissions in the new unit of the factory, which is scheduled to be launched in 2017. The company did not announce any new employment plans. The Tychy factory now has some 550 employees.
