Optiric opening 5 more plants to cater to huge demand for building materials

Swedish building-materials producer Optiroc is planning to open five factories in Poland. The investment will be between zl. 100 million and zl. 120 million. Optiroc already has two plants in Poland, and is opening more because of the huge demand for its products. "One of the plants will be located in southern Poland and the other one in the north-west. One of them will be built from the ground and the other will be bought," said president of Optiroc Piotr Dauksza. The company is not planning to invest in a special economic zone (SSE), as it is more important for it to react to the demand of local markets and have accessibility to local raw materials, and intends to raise capital privately, rather than through the Warsaw Stock Exchange (SWSE).
