The facility will serve the domestic appliance and electronic goods sectors. Customers include appliance manufacturers Indesit and Bosch-Siemens and the Dell Corporation.

The joint venture, which employs around 40 at the new unit, plans to invest a total of 12 million Polish zloty (Euro3.3m) in Lodz by 2012.
