Garo, a manufacturer of smart chargers for electric cars, has announced it is due to have a brand new plant in Szczecin, Poland, completed by April 2023. In line with the opening of the new plant, the company will increase employment to approximately 300 people, doubling the current number of workers. The new factory will be located in the Szczecin Trzebusz Special Economic Zone.
The new factory will allow the production capacity to be increased by almost 10 times. Currently, between 2,000 and 3,000 car charging stations are assembled every week. At the new factory, the production will be increased to 20,000 chargers per week.
