Honeywell will open a factory in Chorzów in April 2021, the company said. The plant will produce advanced warehouse automation equipment that will support global logistics companies. 100 people will find employment in the factory.
It will be the second large Honeywell facility in Silesia opened in the last two years. In 2019, the Honeywell Customer Service Center for Europe was established in Katowice, which currently employs 300 experts in customer service as well as technical and administrative support, it said.
The investment in Chorzów is another element of Honeywell’s development in the area of warehouse automation outside North America. The facility will enable the expansion of the company’s local production and supply chain so that Honeywell’s logistics customers in Europe and North America will be able to expand their European business faster.
“The boom in the e-commerce industry allows logistics companies to benefit from the dynamic development of the European market, which is characterized by the need for fast and precise deliveries. To meet customer expectations, suppliers who want to develop their activities in Europe use modern technologies, such as automation solutions, to improve the speed and accuracy of its distribution centers and to strengthen its competitiveness in this dynamic market, “said Honeywell CEO Ronald Binkofski, quoted in the release.
“Our factory in Chorzów is a clear signal that we are able to quickly support our European customers in achieving their development goals. The plant also gives us the potential to adapt to the needs of the market along with the increase in demand. As a company already present in Silesia, we are glad that we create even more jobs in the region along with the expansion of our business in Central and Eastern Europe “- he added.
