Poland top in TV ratings

"TV assembly is becoming a new trend in Poland," said Andrzej Kaczmarek, the Deputy Minister of Economy.

The Polish Information & Foreign Investment Agency (PAIiIZ), for example, is involved with 22 projects (as of October 10, 2006) from the electronic sector, which are worth to $862 (zł.2,613) billion and will provide 3,575 jobs.

Further proof of Poland's electronics trend can be seen in a letter of intent signed by the government and Japanese company Funai Electric, to establish a factory plot in Nowa Sól, in southern Poland.

The Japanese company will invest EUR 17.4 (zł.53) million. Funai plans to employ 500 people during the first phase of the project and double that number in the second phase. Construction of the new factory will begin in this month and its completion is scheduled for spring 2007.

Yoshio Nakajima, the vice-president of Funai, said that the company wants to improve its position on the European market. The factory in Nowa Sól will be Funai's first in Europe.
