International Automotive Components (IAC, Luxembourg; www.iacgroup.com) has broken ground on a greenfield plant in Opole / Poland. The USD 20m facility, which will manufacture tailored instrument panels for premium passenger cars, will be operational in mid-2017 and will provide around 550 skilled jobs in the region.
The 27,000 m² facility will be built in stages during 2017, and will be the company’s 27th plant in Europe. It has been designed to support future growth by supplying other interior products to vehicle manufacturers in the region, as many international OEMs are establishing, or already have plants within 100 km to 450 km of Opole.
