Simoldes Plasticos injects EUR 16 million into new car component plant

The factory is scheduled to start operations in the middle of this year and will employ 170 workers, Christian Poyet, the company's president, announced. The site will produce plastic parts for FIAT, Toyota and Volkswagen cars. The fact that these car manufacturers all have factories near Jelcz Laskowice was naturally an important factor that influenced the siting of the company's investment there. By 2008, Simoldes plans to increase the number of employees at the plant to 300 and double productivity. Poyet also declared that Simoldes is interested in working with local suppliers.
