Somfy expands in Poland

France's Somfy doubled its sales of key products in H1 y/y and plans to expand its logistics center, build a new HQ in Warsaw and increase employment by 20 percent, the company said. The biggest hikes in sales were recorded in the gate motors category (61 percent y/y) and the garage door motors category (78 percent y/y). The company is set to expand its 4,500 sqm Niepołomice logistics center, which was opened last year, but is already 90 percent taken. Somfy is also building an office building for its new headquarters in Warsaw, which will be completed in the summer next year. Created in 1969, Somfy is a French leader in door and window automation for the home and building industry.
