Saia-Burgess makes cautious entry into Poland via KSSE

The company has already been granted permission to start its activity in Poland and rented out an assembly hall in Dąbrowa Górnicza. The process of adapting the hall and activating the production line will consume zł.1.4 million. At first the company will create 250 jobs, but by 2007 the number will be increased to 400. According to Justyna Romańczyk from KSSE, the plant in Dąbrowa Górnicza will be one of the Swiss group's largest plants in Europe. Saia-Burgess is one of the largest white goods components provider in the world, and it is present on four continents. In 2004 the group's sales income amounted to EUR 365.2 million. By the end of this year, the combined value of all investments in KSSE will be zł.1 billion. (Parkiet, p. 5) A.F.
