New companies in the Małopolska Special Economic Zone
Recently, procedures have been completed for the issuing of licenses to more new businesses desiring to pursue their activity in the SEZ. Skawina will be the site of operations for Bahlsen Polska sp. z o.o., a food products company. This is the 95th permit issued by the management of the Kraków Technological Park.
Bahlsen Polska is part of the Bahlsen Group, a family-owned German company operating on the food products market, producing packaged cakes and cookies. It is the leading European supplier of confections. The company’s investment plans include an expansion of their Skawina baked goods and confectionary production line. An innovative product cooling scheme will also be installed. The company has obliged itself to raise its investment outlays to at least PLN 20.7 mln. It will also establish at least 30 jobs and maintain an average employment of 293 workers.
The commune of Zator is the beneficiary of especially good news. This area is one of the newest sub-zones in the Kraków SEZ, primarily designed for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was established in April 2009, and initially encompassed an area of 4.9 ha. A boundary change in September 2011 increased the sub-zone’s area to 28.5 ha. The land is excellently prepared for the needs of investors and also readily accessible to transport. Cooperation with local authorities is bringing further investment to this business-friendly environment.
The management of the Kraków Technological Park has just issued two more permits for commercial activity in the Zator sub-zone. They were received by Argo-Hytos Polska sp. z o.o. and Ekowafel sp.j. These are the 96th and 97th permits issued by the KTP, and the fourth and fifth for the sub-zone. Investment was previously undertaken there by ZPHiU Witold Płoszczyca, Cordia Plus A.D. Sp.j. and Lukas s.c.
Argo-Hytos combined modern filtration solutions with hydraulic and lubrication systems. The company has agreed to increase investment outlays to over PLN 4.6 mln, and also increase employment by at least 5 new workers.
Ekowafel is a producer of confectionary goods. The new investment will result in outlays of over PLN 2 mln, and increase employment by at least 5 new workers.
