The factory will be built this year and production will start in the fourth quarter 2019. Capital inputs will amount to approximately 65 million PLN. The investor plans to expand its operations gradually.

The investment in Grudziądz is possible thanks to the support of the Polish Investment and Trade Agency. - The investment of the Norwegian company Kitron in Grudziądz confirms that medium-sized cities are becoming increasingly more involved in the struggle to attract foreign investors. The location of Grudziądz in relation to the main communication routes, access to the qualified staff and well-prepared investment areas - these are Grudziądz's strong cards in competition for new investment projects, in which PAIH supports the local authorities and the Pomeranian Special Economic Zone. The Kitron project will certainly strengthen the economic potential of the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship - emphasizes Krzysztof Senger, p.o. President of PAIiH.

The Kitron plant in Grudziądz will integrate modern and automated electronics production. Advanced technical services will also be available, including prototyping and test development.
