Ambassador Tours Dell's New Production Facility in Poland

On February 16, after a lunch hosted by the Mayor of Lodz along with the local Governor, Ambassador Ashe and SCO McCaslin visited Dell's new plant just outside of Lodz in central Poland, which was completed last year and is already churning out laptops for the entire European market. It is Dell's most sophisticated and hi-tech manufacturing facility in the world. The plant currently operates three production lines with 1800 employees and expects to add more production lines and employees when it starts producing PC's in addition to laptops. Not only is Dell a leading hi-tech employer in the region, it is also a good corporate citizen, having planted over 400,000 new trees around Lodz as part of its green program to reduce its carbon footprint. It plans to continue to plant new trees for each product it ships.

2012 European Cup Championships - Business Opportunities For U.S. Firms

Poland and Ukraine were recently selected to jointly host the European Cup soccer championships in June 2012.  In order to prepare for  the expected 500,000 visitors during three weeks of play, authorities in Poland and Ukraine must oversee massive building and renovation of their countries’ sports complexes, road, airport and rail infrastructures, and tourist facilities.  In Poland, three new stadiums will be built and three more renovated and expanded.  To accommodate the games as well as Poland’s growing economy, new construction is slated to create 900 kilometers of highway, full modernization of eight airports and upgrades of the country’s entire railway grid.  Funding for construction will come form central and local governments, European Union and private sources.
