22:49
Automotive sector giant Volkswagen will build a factory producing Crafter vans in Września in western Poland, the company announced at a press conference on Tuesday.
The value of the investment is almost PLN 3.4 billion and will create 2,300 jobs.
The new production plant will be located on the territory of the Wałbrzych Special Economic Zone “Invest-Park” in Września. One of the decisive factors was that several companies cooperating with Volkswagen already have their units in the zone. The location is also close to the A4 highway and not far from the Poznań-Ławica international airport.
The company will launch construction work on the site in the autumn of 2014. Production is scheduled to start in 2016.
