White-goods production grew by 11% y/y in Q1 - report
According to CECED, Polish white-goods producers association, the household appliances production grew in Q1 by 11 percent year-on-year. This means that in the first three months of the year, 5.8 million pieces of hardware were manufactured in Poland.
The big white-goods segment (refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers etc.) grew by 13 percent, while the small one (irons, blenders etc.) rose by 3 percent. “This is due to turmoil in Ukraine, where many Polish companies, like Zelmer have a strong foothold,” explains Rzeczpospolita daily.
Poland is Europe’s biggest white-goods producer. Last year some €3.4 billion worth of products were manufactured in Poland.
