MAN-sized investments planned for next year

The firm will invest the same amount next year. This mainly concerns its investment in Niepołomice, worth EUR 92 (zł.350.3) million. Anton Weinmann, president of MAN Nutzfahrzeuge, said that Poland is the second important market for his company after Germany. He also said that he hoped the plant in Niepołomice would start production by the middle of next year. The company will be manufacturing 15,000 lorries in a one-shift system, thanks to which 620 new jobs will be created. The company will also invest EUR 24 (zł.91.3) million in 2007 in Starachowice, where it manufactures components and bodies for buses. (Puls Biznesu p. 12) M.M.
