Pasta plant

The firm will operate in the Polish market under the name Alpina Slavia and will employ more than 100 people. "Construction work will begin later this year, while production in the new facility will be commenced in June 2006," said the mayor of Sulechów, Ignacy Odważny. It will be the town's second pasta plant. The new facility will export to the EU. "Most likely it will produce private label pasta for large retail networks," commented a representative of a competing company. Because of the investment boom, Sulechów might be included in the Kostrzyń-Słubice Special Economic Zone.
