Hirsch Porozell to open EUR 3 million plant in ŁSSE

The firm will produce packaging used to secure white-goods while being transported. Hirsch Porozell will invest EUR 3 million by the end of 2005 and initially employ 30 people. "Production should commence in February," said Paulina Kaczyńska, Hirsch's investment and production specialist. The enterprise already owns a plant in Wrocław, which is close to Whirlpool's factory. "The firm will retrieve 65% of the investment outlays thanks to tax exemptions," said Andrzej Ośniecki, president of ŁSSE. Hirsch made a decision about investing in Łódź thanks to the recent announcement of German white-goods producer BSH to invest in the ŁSSE. "We are also in talks with other suppliers about locating their plants in Łódź, including foreign enterprises," said a person from BSH. (Puls Biznesu, p. 7) M.M.
