Japanese investors discuss FSO with Economy Ministry

The representatives of the company came to Warsaw this week to talk with the Deputy Economy Minister Jacek Socha and FSO's creditors. According to the Polish Information and Foreign Investments Agency (PAIiIZ), Aishin Seki is not the only Japanese company interested in acquisitions and investments in Poland. The potential Japanese investors have already talked to the authorities of Grodzisk Mazowiecki about building a factory producing gearboxes in the town, and according to unofficial information, the Toyota representatives are investigating the possibility of cooperating with the FSO foundry. Most of the Japanese companies interested in investing in Poland are Toyota's subsidiaries, which may mean that Toyota is inclined to locate its new car factory in this country.
