Toshiba, Bridgestone, and Toyota: the Japanese are stepping on it in Poland. After Suzuki, Isuzu and Sharp, the three companies are opening new factories in which some are planning to import the Japanese work management model.(Ref. 070126)
Toshiba is opening a new factory in Kobierzyce, near Wroclaw, in the South of the country. The production (three million LCD screens by 2009) will begin in August 2007, on a 226.500 square meters site. Toshiba-Poland thus creates 1,200 jobs. Another Japanese investment: Bridgestone, the second world pneumatic manufacturer (which already has a factory near Poznan) will, starting this year, produce 26,000 caterpillar tires a year for tractors and earth-moving equipment, in Stargard Szczecinski.
