ioioMaco Pharma to open zl. 60 million plant in Wroclaw Technology Park

French pharmaceutical giant Maco Pharma plans to open a manufacturing plant in Wroclaw in October 2003. The company has already completed the first stage of the zl. 60 million investment - it has bought a 3 hectare building plot for zl. 2.8 million. The remaining 6 hectare plot may be acquired via tender, which is to be announced soon. The new plant will produce plastic bags used in transfusions. About 300 new jobs will be created, which may increase to 1,000 by 2005. The city authorities hope that the project will help draw investor's attention to the Wroclaw Technology Park, which is where the plant will be located. (Puls Biznesu, p. 8) M.K.
