SEZ managed by ARP increase investments

In the first quarter of this year, companies in special economic zones managed by the Industry Development Agency (ARP) declared investments worth PLN 504.6 million. This is almost 2.5 times more than in the same quarter last year. The declared number of new jobs was 311, ie 3.5 times more than a year ago.

"We are constantly expanding the range of services provided to investors in special economic zones with specialist technical, human resources, and legal support. In the socio-economic conditions of the 1990s, the most important thing was to attract investors who ensured the maintenance of jobs and establishments. We focus on the quality of investments. The most important are: innovation, industry 4.0, robotization, staff training. We are very eager to see small and medium-sized enterprises in the zones, which often conduct innovative projects," Paweł Kolczyński, vice president of the Industrial Development Agency said.

The Tarnobrzeg Special Economic Zone "Euro-Park Wisłosan" is the location of investments by LG Energy Solution Wrocław, which is one of the largest exporters of lithium-ion batteries in Europe. From 2020, LGESWA has invested approximately $3.5 billion in the plant located in Euro-Park Kobierzyce and plans to spend more than $730 million by next year.

“The construction of the fourth stage of the LGESWA investment is currently underway, including the reconstruction of the former TOSHIBA building, including two large, 3-level production halls with accompanying infrastructure," Przemysław Strzelec, acting director of the Branch in Wrocław informed.
