GM's Rewel
Construction of car giant General Motors' new Opel Zafira II in Poland next year will create an additional 1,000 jobs.
GM's Opel Polska plant, in Gliwice, will introduce a third shift to boost production from 116,000 to 140,000 units a year.
The company will begin its recruitment drive to increase the 1,980-strong workforce in June 2005. Company spokesperson Wojciech Osoś said: "We expect production of the next generation Zafira will create 1,000 jobs both directly and indirectly."
At the moment financial details of the investment have not been released.
The first of the new family vehicles will roll off the Gliwice production line in September 2005.
The GM family also includes the Chevrolet and Saab brands, which it imports to Poland. GM Poland estimates it will sell 32,000 Opels and 3,400 Chevrolets this year. (A.B.)
