Indesit invests in Polish kitchens
Italian white-goods producer Indesit announced that it will invest EUR 80 (zł.311) million in building two plants in Radomsko in the Łódzkie voivodship. Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński handed the investor permission to go ahead with the project during his visit to Łód. According to the company, the two new plants should be completed by the end of 2007 and will employ around 1,000 people. This would give the company four plants in Poland where a total of more than 3,000 employees would be working.
The company's general director, Vittorio Merloni, said that the white-goods market in Central Europe is one of the most dynamically growing, and Poland is one of the region's main markets. More than three million units of white-goods equipment are sold annually in the country. This explains why most of the company's planned EUR 100 (zł.389) million investment in the CEE region between 2008 and 2010 will go to Poland.
The Italian company already has two production units in Łód, where refrigerators and cookers are manufactured. In April one of the factories was expanded at a cost of EUR 10 (zł.39) million.
