  • The Automotive Industry in Poland
    The Automotive Industry in Poland Prepared by Janusz Buliński Economic Information Department Polish Information and Foreign Investment Agency S.A. Warsaw, October 2010 The Automotive Industry in Poland 2010 :: p. 1 Executive summary Poland is one of the best locations in the world for automotive investments. Our country offers relatively inexpensive but highly-qualified human resources and a long-standing tradition in the industry. The presence of the most significant companies in the sector is not without merit, providing a complex network of cooperative relations and availability of sub-suppliers. Therefore it is not surprising that Poland is the second largest producer of cars in the region, with the level of production exceeding 900 thous. vehicles per year. Poland is most of all an important producer of finished passenger cars and engines, but its position as a producer of car and bus parts is also strong. Nearly the whole production of the Polish automotive industry is sent for exports . In 2009 its value amounted to € 15.7 billion, i.e. 16% of all Polish exports. The majority of exports are directed at the EU, where the largest recipients are Germany and Italy, i.e. the countries with the largest investments in the sector. Foreign investments are the basis of the Polish automotive sector. Nearly all international concerns operate in Poland, responsible for the majority of production and generating orders both for foreign and local sub-suppliers. The total value of foreign investments in the sector is estimated at the level of approx. € 5 billion. The Automotive Sector In the whole of the European Union, 2 million people work directly in the automotive sector.
