Swedish SCA investments to top DM 450 mln in Poland

Swedish company SCA is planning to build one of the biggest paper plants in Olawa (near Wroclaw). During the next eight years SCA's investments in Poland are to reach DM 450 million. The new plant will specialize in the production of toilet paper and tissues. At the same time SCA decided to close its diaper plant located in Wroclaw. According to SCA president of hygiene products Michael Pedersen that decision was made because of the company's policy of production concentration in highly specialized centers. Machines and equipment from the soon to be closed plant will be transferred to other SCA European plants. Some of the 119 employees from Wroclaw will find new positions in Olawa.
