Description
Barlinek, a company producing mainly wooden floors —floorboards, classic parquet floors and mosaic, lit floors - started to build a new factory in Barlinek (Zachodniopomorskie).
Despite the fact that the new factory will cost PLN 100 million, the company declared it is to invest PLN 200 million in this area.
Tax deductions and other benefits from presence in the Kostrzyńsko-Słubicka Special Economic Zone encouraged the company to invest there.
