Toshiba Corp. plans to build a liquid-crystal-display television plant in Poland to produce large screen units for the European market. The company plans to launch the plant in mid-2007 and aims to produce 1.5-2m units a year by 2009.
The new assembly plant, to be built in Wroclaw in southwestern Poland, will hire 1,000 new employees. Toshiba plans to invest over £22m in the plant, which will be the companys second TV assembly factory in Europe.
