Polcolorit new plant gives it a head start on its rivals

The new plant will produce quality tiles for more demanding customers. "We are going to try and attract clients who are looking for upmarket products and who up to now preferred Spanish and Italian tiles," said Barbara Urbaniak-Marconi, president of Polcolorit. The production capacity of the factory is 2.25 million square meters of tiles a year, but could easily work at double capacity. According to the company's finance director, Witold Pandel, the profits are now going to rise as well (in 2005 the company's income amounted to zl.84 million). Another ceramics company, Sanitec Kolo, has also invested in a new production plant. The construction works started yesterday. The investment, worth zl.100 million, is to be finished around the end of H1 2007. (Puls Biznesu, p. 10, 11) A.M.
