Description

Format Tresorbau, producer of safes, is to move back its production from Poland to Germany. The company claims that this measure was enforced by rising transportation costs and workforce costs in CEE countries, as well as 'Quality level different than in Germany'. The company reopened its production line in German Lichtenau, near Kassel. It will hire 36 new workers there.
