Dell to open Polish facility
C|Net | at | by Mike
Dell has announced plans to build a manufacturing facility in Poland as part of an effort to meet growing demand in central and Eastern Europe. The hardware maker said it and its key suppliers may invest as much as 253 million euros ($321 million) in the growing Polish economy. The facility in Lodz will be a Polish first for Dell and is expected to open with around 1,000 workers in autumn 2007.
Bell said the decision to settle on Poland over other countries was the result of "long discussions with the central government and city government. The focus has been on employment and training in high-quality areas." Bell declined to comment on whether the company had received financial incentives from the Polish government.
