New Lódz SEZ CEO talks of investments reaching zl.1billion

He did not reveal the names of the potential investors. "We have several large projects from the sectors: hi-tech, furniture, metal, window producer and interior equipment," said the president. He assured that among these companies, there is no application from Dell, but according to unofficial information negotiations are being conducted at the government level. A subzone might be created in Belchatów, as Korean Humax wants to invest EUR 10 million and create 200 jobs in an LCD producing plant. Currently the area of the Zone is used in 75%, but "I put stress on a very proactive way of attracting investors," said the CEO. He asked all local governments from the region to provide information on what land would be suitable for the zone, but he also plans to support investors having difficulties in finding well-trained employees. "The value of declared investments will exceed zl.1 billion, while investors will create 2,500-3,000 new jobs," said Rapkiewicz. (Puls Biznesu, p. 9) M.M.
