Hexal Polska ready to start its production lines

"The sales department is already operational. We have to wait a few months before we can launch production, but in the fall we will commence large scale manufacturing," assured Hexal Polska president Andrzej Trzeciakowski. The plant will produce a variety of pills and capsules, but to begin with, it will manufacture nine versions of three drugs. "Afterwards we will shift production of all drugs sold in Poland from Germany. At present, this amounts to 32 products in about 100 versions, but the list will expand," said Trzeciakowski. Hexal will employ 200 and the investor expects a return after seven years. The company is planning further investments of between zł. 45-60 million in about three to five years, depending on the result of current operations. (Puls Biznesu, p. 10) M.M.
