Mostostal Zabrze, a major construction company building steel mills, chemical plants, sugar refineries, heating plants, and other industrial facilities, announced on 14 March 2007 its plans to hire approximately 300 employees from China. Mostostal has set up a company in China in order to recruit skilled workers. The Chinese employees will work there for half the wages drawn by their Polish counterparts. The total employment in the unit is 830 people.
