MAN to merge its Sady factory with Starachowice

Due to market pressure, MAN has decided to close its Sady bus manufacturing plant with another plant in Starachowice. The Sady location's 900 employees will be given the chance and incentives to move to Starachowice or possibly get hired in the new VW factory in Września. MAN Lion's City bus and bus chassis are the main products coming out of the Sady factory, reported wyborcza.biz.pl. It has been made clear that MAN's production in Poland would see cutbacks. Earlier, a bus factory located in Plauen, Germany was moved to Ankara, Turkey, hence limiting the amount of sub-assemblies produced in Starachowice.
