American multinational food producer Kellogg Company (Kellog’s) has announced the creation of over100 new jobs at its factory of potato chips in Kutno (Łódź Special Economic Zone). The company has just launched the fourth production line at the factory.

The new line will use the latest food production technology and will be highly efficient and environmentally friendly.
