Description
Procter&Gamble, the American producer of cosmetics and household chemicals, plans to build a baby cosmetics plant in the Targówek district of Warsaw. The new factory will employ approximately 200 people. Targówek is already home to a Procter&Gamble factory and distribution centre. As a result, this location eventually won out over another proposed site, in the Łódź Special Economic Zone. As of January 2007 the company employs 300 people in Targówek and plans to hire some 100 new workers till the end of 2009.
